Thinking of Mom - CYCI16

I am very honored to have been asked to be a guest designer today for the Can You Case It Challenge Blog. This week the challenge is to create a Mother's Day card...


I have a funny story to go along with today's card. This week I have spent some time going through my retired stash and discovered the stamp set Fabulous Florets in with my retired supplies. The funny part is that it is not retired yet! It is currently on the list to be retired on June 1st and I have never used it! Oops! So I was determined that it was going to be used today! And it's a perfect fit for the theme today!

 

I stamped the leaves in Pear Pizzazz (a fabulous shade of green, by the way) and stamped the flowers in Primrose Petals. I will miss this shade when it retires!! I fussy cut the flowers out and popped them up on Stampin' Dimensionals. The sentiment is from the soon-to-be-retired set Delightful Dozen. It sets the flowers off perfectly when stamped in Primrose Petals....did I say I was going to miss this color? (sniff) I rounded the corners of the top kayer for just a bit of added visual interest.

Three tiny pearls provide the perfect amount of jewelry.

I hope you have enjoyed today's special post. I have enjoyed being a guest designer for the Can You Case It Challenge Blog very much! If you have a chance won't you play along as well?

Have a great day and thanks so much for stopping by!
