Where have all the flowers gone....

Do you remember that song, by Peter Paul and Mary?  As we wait patiently (or not!) for the flowers to return, how about we give spring a boost.   Today I've gone with a pretty Mother's Day card, which in Canada we celebrate in May.

Here in Ontario, we're just coming out of a winter storm with lots of freezing rain.  For some people, that meant power outages, and for my parents...that meant water in their basement when the sump pump couldn't be activated.  What a mess!  I've looked at the forecast, and it would appear that spring is going to give it another try next week....oh, let's hope!


Poppies are one of my Mum's favourite flowers, as well as mine, and this is one of the newest images from Just Inklined titled 'Meadow Poppy'Coloured up with copics, I added that little butterfly rub-on that I found in my stash.

Using both Labels Eight and Decorative Labels Eight from Spellbinders, and some pretty papers from MME....the result is a pretty lacy card, perfect for that special day.  If you look close, you'll see a wee bit if script stamped on the background paper, and a couple of little bows where I inked the ribbon to match the colours of the paper.

Thanks for popping by, and let's hope you have a great weekend and maybe some better weather!
