MOTHERS DAY


Good morning, and welcome to my blog.  Thanks so much for visiting me.  It's time for another card.  I made this card for a special friend, as she has so many of my cards over the years, and kept every one of them.  Then my daughter-in-law saw it and said Mum would love this for Mother's Day, and now it's a Mother's Day card, so I can always make another one for my friend.   The bio we had from Polkadoodles stated that it had to be a Mother's Day card or a birthday card. 

Here's a quick peek at the inside of my card.

    Such a lovely blend of shape, color, and detail. The hot pink really does shine against the floral paper, and the layered circles frame the image beautifully. The inside looks just as polished as the front, which makes the whole design feel extra special.

    I appreciate your visit to my blog and the kind words you shared. I hope you will stop by again soon.
