HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Today is a day to celebrate mothers and all the hard work that they do. Thanks Mum!

I couldn't share the Mother's Day card that I created for my Mum earlier in the week, as she checks out this website and the Creative Stamping Facebook page. So, here it is...

Stamps: Happy Watercolor (wood: 133188, clear: 133191), Papillon Potpourri (wood:132058 , clear: 123759), Teeny Tiny Sentiments (wood: 130042, clear: 120024). Ink: Pistachio Pudding (131177), Baked Brown Sugar (131174), Soft Suede (126978), Crisp Cantaloupe (131176). Card/Paper: Pistachio Pudding (131299), Baked Brown Sugar (131301), Crisp Cantaloupe (131303), Whisper White (106549), White Vellum Card Stock (106584). Accessories: Tea Lace Paper Doilies (129399), Gold Sequin Trim (132983), Gold Baker's Twine (132975), Natural 7/16" Trim (129287). Tools: Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine (113439), Spiral Flower Originals Die (129379), Elegant Butterfly Punch (127526), Bitty Butterfly Punch (129406), Chevron Border Punch (132154), Sticky Strip (104294), Glue Dots (103683), Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue (110755), Stampin' Dimensionals (104430).

I love colour combination of Pistachio Pudding, Baked Brown Sugar and Crisp Cantaloupe - very sweet and pretty. And they work lovely with gold highlights from the sequin trim and baker's twine.

The layout of this card was inspired by one on Roberta's website and I just loved Nicki Dexter's shabby flowers. Those flowers are so pretty that I just had to have a go! To create them I die-cut Crisp Cantaloupe card stock and Paper Doilies with the Spiral Flower die, then wound them together.

Today, I also want to share this fabulous poem that my dear daughter wrote for me...

This beautiful poem is for you mummy
All the meals you make are always yummy
All the help you give when things are confusing
Your hugs are always reassuring.

This is almost to good to be true
The best mum in the world is obviously you.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!
