Happy birthday Mom x

It's my wonderful Mom's birthday tomorrow. I made a card for Dad to give to her...... that's the thing with making cards- you often end up making more than one for each recipient, especially when they're a family member!


I went for an easel card and added some very pretty vellum as a background. The image is stamped in Vintage Photo Distress Ink, and I used a dampe paint brush to draw some of the ink out to colour in the Madame.


If you want to know how to make the scrunched flowers, there's a mini tutorial here.

Happy birthday Mom x

I'm entering this into:
Try it on Tuesday challenge- lucky dip, I used stamped image, distressing, ribbon, sentiment.
Totally Gorjuss- for a special someone.....can't get more special than my Mom x
