Happy Mother's Day for all the moms (and mums) out there! Somehow I started the day making breakfast for my family, but I've told them I really hope someone makes me a dinner that involves shrimp and lemon tonight.
I couldn't resist playing along with a couple of challenges yesterday that had a common thread making it possible to combine them on one card.
Michele's card for the Muse Challenge #164 and the inspiration photo from The Card Concept #54 had me thinking about purple spring flowers. An image from PTI's Bitty Bouquet stamp set is stamped on the panel a couple of times and then several more images are stamped and die cut. The MB watering can die is cut with metallic paper, placed over the stamped flowers and then the die cut flowers were layered in place.
The Avery Elle sentiment is stamped and heat embossed on a purple banner. The banner and watering can are both popped up in the center and adhered flush to the panel at the edges.
I think, with the layering of the floral image, this card belongs in The Card Concept's Clean & Layered category.
In other news, spreadsheets & alarms are now being used to track Stefan's eye drops and assorted meds. Because his left arm is still in a splinted straight out, it is a struggle for him to administer his own eye drops. Just one of the details he didn't think through when scheduling the surgeries so close together {sigh}.
Thanks for stopping by,
Jacquie
Love the fabulous shine on that watering can, Jacquie, and those flowers are gorgeous!
