For Mom

Just a quick share of the card I made for my mom for Mother's Day. I seriously had the wrong date in my head for Mother's Day this year and thought it was still more than two weeks away.  When I realized my confusion, I scrambled to get a card made and mailed to my mom so she would have it in time for Mother's Day.  So I just finished it and it will go out in the mail on Wednesday.  She should have it by Saturday. 

I want to say thank you and give a big shout out to Julie and the wonderful people at Verve and Mojo Monday.  My card was chosen as one of the winners last month and I got to pick any Verve stamp set I wanted.  I settled on the Because of You set and just inked it up for the first time on this card.  Isn't it wonderful?  I love the images and the sentiments and word stamps are fantastic too.  

I used the sketch from this week's Mojo Monday and the color challenge from The Shabby Tea room to make this card.  The pretty Venise lace floral applique is from my new Etsy shop which I tea dyed and then painted with Bordering Blue to match the designer paper.  Other products used were Spellbinders dies and an SU boarder punch, Bordering Blue in and my Viva Decor pearl pen.  

Thanks so much for stopping by and if you are curious about anything, just ask.
