Happy Mother's Day!

Hello there, and Happy Mother's Day to all you Moms out there. I don't usually blog on Sunday, but, as usual, I am a bit behind on my crafting. I actually spent today and yesterday making Mother's Day cards. I was going to make a couple of Mother's Day cards for my mom, mother-in-law, daughter and daughter-in-law, but then I realized I needed to make a few more.

I realized I know quite a few amazing moms, most of which will be thoroughly enjoying today and getting spoiled by loved ones, but there are a few out there that this might be a pretty tough day for them. Maybe someone whose lost a child, or has a wayward child, maybe she's a widow, or in a nursing home with no one coming to visit. So, I decided to make several more cards and send them out to women I know that may need a little pick-me-up today. (Yes, they will be late, but I'm sure they'll love them just the same.)

I used the new Love What You Do stamp set that is offered right now as a pre-order in some pretty amazing bundles for this card, along with the Large Letters Framelits and the Celebrate You Thinlits. (SOO glad those dies didn't retire after Sale-a-Bration!)

I used all three of the watercolor stamps in the set to achieve the Blushing Bride background by simply stamping them randomly in the corner. The flowers were water colored in with Melon Mambo and Rich Razzleberry, which I have to admit, is a color I don't use very often. My daughter and I were undecided as to which of those two colors to use for the letters and card base, and eventually settled on the Rich Razzleberry. I thought about using some of the pearls from the bundle, but I really like it just as it is.

I really do like how this came out, and hope it can help cheer up some pretty amazing women in my life.

How about you? Know any amazing women in your life? I challenge you this week to drop them a letter, or better yet, give them a call. I'm sure they'd love to hear from you.

Till next time...
God's love and blessings!
