Mother's Day 2016

For all those celebrating today, Happy Mother's Day!  After much rain and chilly temperatures all week, the sun finally came out today and it is turning into a pretty day with a fresh breeze.

For my Mom for Mother's Day, I created this card using Pion Design Paris Flea Market paper for the background.  Prima trim was placed across the bottom of the card.  A Prima diecut doily was added next.  I cut out one of the thread spools from the paper and attached a Jolee fabric flower to it.  The sweet toddler image was a gift and I adhered ruffled lace and pearls around it.  The photo and spool were place onto the doily with foam tape.  The Papertrey Ink sentiment was stamped onto a piece of the paper which I then cut in the shape of a banner and placed it next to the photo.  The flowers in the corner are a combination of Petaloo and Spare Parts, and the butterfly is from Recollections.  The finishing touches were flatback pearls (given a coat of gesso), a Prima pearl swirl, and a couple of hemp bows.

This card was a joy to make.  I love the vintage, shabby chic look.  My heart always melts with those old-fashioned images.

Lastly, I'm sharing a photo of my Mom, myself and my son taken on this day.  Thank you so much for stopping by and your sweet comments.  Have a wonderful Sunday and week ahead!
