BLOGGER'S CHALLENGE #46 - MOTHER'S DAY CARDS
Mother's Day...Mother's Day...it's almost time for Mother's Day! It's really not that big of a deal around our house...but I do love my MOTHER so this is for her. This week's Blogger's Challenge was to create a Mother's Day card...duh! (Last week was Graduation cards and since I don't know anyone who's graduating from anywhere - and because I ran out of time - I skipped that one. I did have a little idea for something rattling around in my head so I may get to it yet.)
My mom is a Red Hat Lady...thus the color scheme here. And I got some new stamps this week - SHOCKER RIGHT?!? NOT! This lovely little girlie is Rosie Posie and she's from Whipper Snapper Designs, illustrated by Anna Wight. (ACK! When I went over to Whipper Snapper to grab the link for this post I saw that Anna has two new UM sets coming soon - Cats and Dogs - oh dear...I'm sure they'll be must haves!) She's so cute! I watercolored her using SU! reinkers and also Hot Cinnamon Twinklng H2Os for the shoes and polka-dots. The sentiment is from Paper Source.
I hope all of you MOMs out there have a wonderful weekend. (I also hope it gets sunny around here but I think it's all rain in the forecast...good for the plants though!) HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
Toooo cute! I love that little image! {SMILES}

I love it! Perfect for a Red Hat Lady - your coloring is fabulous. You must have taken lessons from Anna because your technique here is wonderful. Love the ribbon treatment...
