Waltzingmouse Stamps is having a blog hop in honor of Mother's Day! We were to make a card for a special lady in our life. Unfortunately, my mother died when I was 18, but I am so lucky to have a most wonderful Mother-in-Law named Mary.
I used the flower from Waltzingmouse's Sewing Box Hugs and the lace stamp from Faux Fun. I used PTI's Berry Sorbet cardstock and Versamark ink for the images. When I was done, I heat embossed the flowers and lace with White Puff embossing powder by Ranger. The sentiment is from a retired company called The Saltbox Studio.
Mom definitely "Lives Simply". Her life is all about family, generosity, faith, kindness, and honesty...all of the simple things that mean the most. I am so lucky to have her in my life! Thanks for stopping by on the hop!
PS...That's Mom, and me, and my sister-in-law Ruth!
VERY beautiful design indeed! The embossing really makes it all stand out.
