So I was playing around with my fairly new EK Success Deep Scroll Edge punch trying for a punch around the page effect, which kinda works, and it left a long narrow center panel. I had just been looking over my a Day for Daisies stamps thinking I might enter a card in their latest challenge and remembered this precious Mother and child image which would be perfect for that narrow spot. Wooohooo...I call that serendipity. Then I was thinking I ought to play up the stars and added all the bling. So, are you asleep yet? I used my Prismacolors and OMS and added the seam binding bow with a bit of flower and snuck in a new Memory Box die that came in this week. I think it makes a pretty nifty Mother's Day card.
Hope you're all having a terrific weekend. It's in the high 70's-low 80's here in the high desert of Arizona...beautiful weather.
Hugs,
Kathy
