Happy Mother's Day



Hello and happy Friday!  Hope you're ready for a wonderful Mother's Day weekend.

My card today is my MIL's Mother's Day card with a picture of her and my DH.  The picture was first scanned, then printed on plain white cardstock, cut out with a nestabilities oval die and distressed with Black Soot distress ink.   The DPs are from the Webster's Pages Petite Papers pack and DCWV Mariposa Matstack, the butterfly is a Hero Arts digital image colored with copic markers and the stitchings are rub-ons. 

We went to Maui yesterday to spend the day with my MIL and at age 94 she's doing remarkably well.  I hope my DH inherited her good genes.

 Thanks for stopping by!   Have a great weekend and

 Happy Mother's Day!

Another Shirley Sensational card! Oh, I really do love the Victorian look. I'm a collector of vintage nick nacks and cameos so your card really appeals to me. Thanks for brightening my visual day. Happy Mother's Day!
