Freshly Made Sketches: Mother's Day

It's time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches! Today we have a sketch by Jen Brum and here’s what I did with it!
 
Mother's Day

There's nothing on this card that's new and trendy - but it totally works for my mother-in-law.  She prefers cute cards.  Actually she prefers snarky and sarcastic cards, but I don't have anything like that for Mother's Day.  So I dug deep into my stash looking for things that seemed like her.  The paper is at least a decade old - maybe even two decades - but I love its simple, cheerful look.  The stamp is long retired but it fit nicely into the open space while still having an interesting look.  And the dies are from a company that doesn't even exist any more.

Mother's Day

It always amuses me that I can so enjoy working with old and out-of-date products yet I keep adding to my stash! 

I hope to see you playing along with us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!

  6. I just absolutely LOVE this card! The paper strips coordinate beautifully together and the sentiment fits perfectly between the strips. The flower accents pull this all together in a beautiful way!
