Hello again - I hope that you are having a wonderful Mother's Day weekend! I wanted to make a quick card today using some papers from my huge paper scraps bin - I always check there first and use the papers that I need, but it still manages to grow! I was able to complete this card in about 20 minutes... ALOT faster than finding my keys, driving to the store, staring at all the hundreds of cards for sale, standing in line at checkout, finding my keys (again...) in my bottomless pit of a purse, and driving home. LOL - but isn't that the truth!?! Make a card instead that you would truly love to give someone, and is a wonderful reflection of you!!!
So what do you think of my simple, but sweet, little card? The little Fabulous Friend oval was stamped on a piece of leftover "Faux Linen" glossy white cardstock that was from my last Techniques class. I just swiped Pink Pirouette ink over it, and the ink filled in the lines very nicely with just enough color. The flowers were colored in with markers, then it was punched out with the large oval punch. I layered this with a Kiwi Kiss scalloped oval. I don't know if you can see it, but the white block was run through the Big Shot with the diamond Texturz embossing plate - in real life, it really adds a pretty touch to this card.
I hope that each of you will have the most wonderful Mother's Day!

Beautiful card!~ I love the faux linen technique and the coloring of the tag...great ideas.
Very pretty card! Love the DSP! Happy Mother's Day!
Great layout, great paper, and colors, just a great card!
That is a great card! And yes, that is a great way to spend 20 minutes!
Much better than that dash to the store thing!! I find myself doing the same thing... hit the scrap pile, add a few personal touches, and the recipients are so much more appreciative of getting a card!! Happy Mother's Day to you!!
Very pretty!!
What do I think of your simple Mother's Day card? I love it! It's very pretty,sometimes simple is the best thing you can do to a card. Love your faux finish on the oval piece. Happy Mother's Day.
I love this card! Very pretty and elegant!
I love your mother's day card. I haven't tried the faux linen technique yet, but love the way it looks. Much nicer than a trip to the store!
