It's Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all you mums out there!
I've told my mum not to look at this blog post because this is the card that I have made for her! 
One of her favourite colours is teal so I went for a stark white background 
embossed with M-Bossabilities Garden Delight
the edge is cut with Classic Triple Scallop Edgeabilities® .  
I added the teal colour with the flower  - Anemone Flower Topper
Finished with stamped sentiment, tiny butterflies, ribbon and a couple of pins - voila! 

I think she will like it, we are off to my sister's home for a meal this evening, 
Bella comes along as she gets to see her 'cousin-dog' Harry!  Good job he's so tolerant! 
I'm back tomorrow and on my countdown to Arizona!!  It has come around so quickly,
I've purchased new luggage and a new handbag - yes I have a thing about bags..and cardigans..
and butterflies..and flowers ..and.. oh dear it appears I like quite a few things! 
Have a wonderful Sunday dear friends.

  25. Hi Christine,
    Firstly HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to you and all you followers that are mums too.
    Your card is stunning and I think your mum must have been over the moon with it. A perfect card for an adored mother.
    I love bags/luggage too, don't use it much now though. I hope you get to spoil yourself a little bit more for this trip, you deserve it so enjoy every moment of it.
    Regards and best wishes Linda
