Daisy Green Mother's Day


I have several Mother's Day cards to share, but am short on time right now. So I'm doing them one at a time. I have more stamping to do for ODBD, so I will post these as I am able.

This card is for my mother-in-law. I'm blessed with a wonderful mother-in-law. I know that's probably a rare thing. She is always so supportive of me and of our family. I thank God for giving me such a wonderful husband along with his wonderful mother! On top of being so supportive, she is very appreciative of my handmade cards. So it's always a pleasure to make them for her.

I decided to do the scoring thing with my Scor-Pal on the base. But I didn't do the DTPing like I usually do because I wanted the Old Olive color to stay just as it was.

I used the Diamond border punch by Fiskars on the black cs. The black gingham ribbon is what actually inspired the use of black as an accent color. I wasn't going to use it until I saw the ribbon over the Pocket Full of Posies dp.

The "Mom" stamp is by PSX. I really need to get some more Mother's Day stamps! I keep reusing the same ones! I heat embossed it with VersaMark ink and Judikins Detail Black ep.

The daisies are Primas from the Daisy Dreams Snow collection. I colored them with markers to match the card's colors.

Gotta get my Mother's Day cards mailed out and start stamping for ODBD, so I better git going!

Thanks for looking and have a blessed day!
