Ode to My Mother!

Happy Saturday Everyone!

It's time for a new Monthly Challenge
at

Our theme this month is:

FIT FOR MOM OR SPECIAL FEMALE

Our lovely sponsor this challenge is:

Prize: £15 voucher

CS is from American Crafts. Die is "In Spades" by Spellbinders. Paper & Metal flower are from Michaels. Pearls and brad are from my stash.

This is a new technique for me- printing on Kraft and coloring with Chalk & Pencils. I stamped the HM Image "Nose to Nose in Flowers" with Memento Black and used SN Markers, chalk and pencils to color it in. But I really love how the chalk on the flowers "POP' with the Kraft. :o)

I also used yellow stickles in the flower centers for contrast and finished it off with a faux stitching border. The poem is by "Friends" by Valerie S. Rios. I just switched it to my mother.

Of course this is for my mom, she loves Purple, flowers and House Mouse stamps. Think I'll save this for a "just because" moment; just to make her smile.

Well I sure hope you will join us in this sweet lil' challenge. Just remember you must use a Gruffies, Hopper or House Mouse design on your card.

How sweet is that???

Please remember in order to be eligible for a prize you MUST use A Gruffie, House Mouse or Happy Hopper Image.

I used the adorable "LOVE LETTER" (HMKR1042) House Mouse stamp- which I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black. That love letter just cracks me up!! LOL! I colored it with SN markers and cut the image out with Labels 25 from Spellbinders.

The CS is from American Crafts and DP is Sending You Love Digi Paper from Diane's Daydream Designs.

I used Heart Die from Sizzix (smaller one) and Cupid Heart & Serafina Heart dies from Memory Box. Finished it all off with some gems.
