Happy Mothers Day

Every year when Mother's Day comes I am always behind the dreaded 8-ball and buying my Mother's Day cards at the last minute. Well, this year, although I am still late, I was able to make Mother's Day cards. This is the card I made for my MIL - Benna. She is a great lady and I am fortunate enough to have her not only as my family, but also as my friend. (Especially since I was friends with her before meeting her son - whom I would later go on to marry).

I also made her a hodgepodge hardware bookmark to go with it, but my DH packed it up and mailed it before I got a chance to take a picture of it. Take my word for it - it was super cute. I hope she enjoys it.

The stamp set I used is from the current SU occasions catalog and it is called Soft Summer. It is a 2-step stamp set and this is the "bold" set. I used markers to color and and IRL it really looks like watercolor. I also used my new scallop oval punch for the first time - I had been looking for an excuse to use it but just couldn't find one. I also used the Raspberry Tart designer paper and coordinating buttons.

Please enjoy and Have a Happy Mother's Day !!
