BEST MOM EVER!!

Mothers hold their children’s hands for a short while, 

but their hearts forever. ~Author Unknown

Mother's day is right around the corner.....

I already have my gift for my mom....

I was just missing one thing....

a CARD to go with her gift!

Here is the card I created for her!

And can I say.....EASY PEASY too boot!!

I began with a piece of Canvas Corp ~ E Flute ~Kraft 

for my card base. I distressed the edges using a Distrezz it All,

then added a bit of Tattered Angels ~ Baseboard ~ Red Rocks

for color.

I cut a piece of Canvas Corp ~ Black on Ivory Toile, 

leaving some of the card base showing.
I also distressed the edges of the paper,

coloring with both 

Tattered Angels ~ Baseboard ~ Red Rocks and Grass.

I diecut Leafy Flowers from a piece of 

Tattered Angels ~ Pure Mistable Papers ~ Boulce ~ Cream

and spritzed the diecut image with

Tattered Angels ~ Baseboard ~ Grass.

I altered a Burlap Ivory Flower
with a bit of Tattered Angels ~ Baseboard ~ Red Rocks!

...added bit of Canvas Corp ~ Burlap Fringe
and a Silk loopy bow to finish off the card!

....and there you have it....

a BEAUTIFUL Mother's Day card
for a WONDERFUL woman!!

I'm Grateful for.....

The most AMAZING little man

my grandson Izaya....

He has stolen my heart....
my house...

and now my creative process!!

If you know my creative style.....
EVERYTHING has a flower....
now I will be creating
"Lil Bug" manly pieces....
what of what shall I do??

Put a flower or two on it anyways!!!

I began with a piece of Canvas Corp Kraft Paper,

made a few water rings using Tattered Angels ~ Glimmer Mist ~ Kraft.

Applied a bit of Tattered Angels ~ Baseboard ~ Soil

through TCW Cubist stencil.
I, then, added a few spritzes of
Tattered Angels ~ Chalkboard ~ Cornflower Daze

here and there.

MY FLOWER......is a spiral flower created from a 

circle cut from a piece of Canvas Corp ~ E Flute ~ Black.

Accented with two Petaloo ~ Burlap Flowers
colored with Tattered Angels ~ Chalkboard ~ Cornflower Daze and a 

diecut of Die~Namites Dies ~ Field Grasses
from a piece of Tattered Angels ~ Mistable Papers ~ Brushed Cotton Cream,

spritzed with Tattered Angels ~ Glimmer Mist ~ Kraft
and accented with Cornflower Daze.

....and oh the layers!!

Canvas Corp ~ Canvas Sheet ~ Denim ~ Unsewn

Canvas Corp ~ E Flute ~ Chocolate
