Happy Mothers' Day if you live in the UK! In case you didn't know, Mothers' Day is celebrated on different days in the US and UK. I celebrate both days the American day (sometime in May) with my daughter here, but my British day with my Mum.
Here's the card I made for her. The heart was created from an old blouse of mine that I love and just can't bring myself to throw away. But I've worn it so much that it has holes in it! I cut the heart free hand and sewed it onto a cream card base.
I sewed together the cream, pink and brown c/stock and stuck it all on a kraft card base. It's finished with some vintage buttons and a Stampin' Up! sentiment. I hope she likes it :)
While I had the fabric out on the table, I decided to make a few more cards with it. I used a Tim Holtz flower die and some vintage brown buttons.
I'm entering the Mothers' Day card into the following challenges:
My Mum's Craft Shop - Mum's the word
Crafty Bloggers Network - Floral
Belli Challenge - Clean and Simple
Hope you have a wonderful week!
