So Late Mother's Day Card

Happy 4th of July Everyone!

I would normally post something patriotic today, but I haven't made anything recently. Guess that means tonight I must take lots of pictures to scrapbook later and be able to show you next holiday!

Don't forget to enter the WEDDING challenge over at Just A Scrappin by the end of the night tonight! 

On to the card for today!

Well the good news is that I did give this card to my mom on Mother's Day. I was just going through my camera and realized I never shared!

My boyfriend didn't think I could make a nice card in under 10 minutes. Challenge accepted!

I needed two, one for my mom and one for his. I handed him a magazine and told him to pick one he liked and I would work from that.

I used Echo Park's Victoria Gardens 6x6 paper, buttons, ribbon, and flowers from my stash, twine in stone, want2scrap swirl pearls and quick quotes lemonade ink.

 

I think it turned out great. And since I was hand delivering and not mailing, I could use those big flowers and not worry about it getting torn up while going through the mail sorter :)

Challenge won!

I hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday! I'll be back tomorrow with a manly card!

Eternally Yours

The Paper Players are holding their 100th challenge! Congrats to them!

Their challenge is to use any past challenge!

So I started looking through the challenges to see what inspired me and I found Challenge #19. Use Red, Black and White!

Those just happen to be my favorite colors :)

I started digging and remembered a wonderful DCWV stack called Immortal Love. So I looked up DCWV's card sketch for this month and got started.

I started out thinking I was going to stay pretty true to the sketch, but my doiley was bigger than I thought it was! It was a white doiley that I inked with Quick Quotes Poweder Puff ink in Midnight Confession and Marchino Cherry. The ribbon is from my stash.

The sticker is from Creative Imaginations. It worked so perfectly with the papers! The bling is from Want2Scrap.

I think I will hold onto this to use for my boyfriend the next time he does something nice. Which, knowing him, will be soon :)

Thanks for joining me this week.

Next week I have another card, another layout and my first design team project!

Have a great weekend :)
