Happy Mother's Day

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all well and enjoying your Mother's Day if you are here in the UK.  I had a gorgeous card from my fur babies and a equally gorgeous bunch of flowers which I am told Majik insisted on buying!

Today I am sharing the card I made for my Mom, she does not use the internet so will not see it on here, but I did call before hand to check she had received it ~ I had the usual luke warm response to the card ~ why do I bother?  Needless to say my Step Mother seemed much more grateful for her card, as they say 'you can't choose your family'!!

Any way here it is ....

CARD RECIPE:

Image: Lili of the Valley ~ 'Flower Arranging' coloured with Copics

Punches: Stampin' Up ~ 'Large Oval' & 'Scallop Oval' & Kars Butterfly Punch
Glossy Accents (on vase but not showing up in photo)

Love

Cheers!

Hello everyone,

I hope you are well and keeping warm!

I have not been around much in blogland because (drum role) I have had my first commission ~ yay!

Remember this card, well the recipient contacted me and asked if I could make it into Christmas cards for him and I said yes ~ well what else was I going to say!  They finally went in the post today all the way to Spain ~ yes I've gone international!  Will post some photos later.

Today I have a quick share ~ this is a card I made for a friend, who like me enjoys the odd glass of red.

I saw these stamps in a magazine feature earlier in the year and bought the whole set, ideal when you want a slightly quirky and humerous card ~ not everyone likes cute.

When I had finished colouring the image, I decided I didn't like the colour of her dress (blue), so I had a lightbulb moment ~ don't get many of those ~ and decided to paper piece it.  I think it works okay?

It doesn't show up on the photo, but I used Glossy Accents on the wine glass to make it sparkle.
