I used a very old stamp by Stampin' Up to make another Mother's Day card, which will go to my 85 year old aunt. She loves yellow so I pulled out papers by K&Co and a an image by K. Andrews to make this. When I added Nuvo drops to the main panel, I accidentally smeared two of them and was beside myself until I realized I could just cover it up with a flower. The flower ended up looking better than the Nuvo drops...so win/win! The sweet little scalloped frame is by Winnie and Walter, and the decorative corner image is by Anita's. I love it when I can use really old stash, don't you?

LOL....flowers to the rescue!!! Why do you think I use so many of them????? Ha. This turned out so pretty. Yay for using some old stash for a nice springy background. I love this wonderful sentiment and the thought behind it. The fancy corner piece and the Nuvo drops are special details that make this card a real standout!! Beautiful.

ReplyDeleteReally pretty and a little bit of a retro feel to the colors and papers. I actually like the flower quite well - it was meant to be. Thank you for sharing with us this month at Papercraft Challenge.
