This is the card that I've made to give my Mom on Mother's Day. I've only just finished putting the finishing touches on it this morning. I cannot remember the last time that I got SO MUCH joy creating a card!! I almost didn't want to finish it, it made me THAT happy while making it. I played around with embellishing it until late last night...I had so many different ideas on what to use that I couldn't decide. I made tons of gorgeous cream colored felt roses to put on it; but thought they took too much attention away from the image so I only used one. I also was going to machine stitch on the paper panels but changed my mind and went for distressing the edges with ink instead. And coloring?!?! Well, I LOVED every second of it!! This is my first time using a Stampavie image by Sarah Kay and now I want them ALL!!!
The DP I used is October Afternoon's, Thrift Shop. I finally found a way to use the music paper in this pad. And although it is mostly covered up...I LOVE IT!!! The postage stamp and die are both from Whimsy Stamps. And I know that I'm gonna have to hide them from myself, so that I don't use them on every card!! LOL
Really....I could go on and on about how much I love this card. Hopefully my Mom will feel the same.
