Mother's Day Cards!

Quick note: the "May I have this Dance?" Blog Hop is happening right now!!! ... click here to go to the post! -- check it out :)




Today I'm sharing some Mother's Day Cards that I created for various card challenges!

CARD #1:  I created a card for the Pink Elephants "All about Mom" challenge and the Love to Create "For Mom" challenge!


As you can see, I used my sewing machine across the top of the card --- in fact, this is how I attached the paper to the cardstock.  I also wrapped some purple twine around the card for a feminine touch.


CARD #2:  Use it Tuesday also posted an "all about Mom" challenge.  I chose to use up a couple of brads that were hanging around in my stash -- the perfect centre for a cute little butterfly!



CARD #3:  this Mother's Day Card was designed for the Celebrate the Occasion and Tuesday Alchemy Mother's Day Challenges.  I based this card on the following Card Positioning Systems sketch.


As you can see, I changed up some of the shapes in the sketch --- I love taking a sketch and turning it into something of my own!
,  

This sentiment works perfectly for Mother's Day ... the sweet colours and floral pattern are so pretty!


 Thanks for popping in!
