Just a quick post today, as it is a busy weekend. Mother's Day, and my baby bother's 50th birthday celebration! Even the weather is co-operating...I truly believe that spring is finally here. The grass is now green and there is even some sprouting in my garden. One day, there may even be flowers!
For now though, I'll have to make do with this pretty Hollyhocks image from Just Inklined. They are one of my favourite flowers, but they don't do well for me because of our harsh winters.
Once again, I've coloured with copics, and I've really stayed with a simple design. I've used a Spellbinders die to cut out the image, a corner punch for some added interest, prettey papers from Wild Rose Studio and then a lovely ribbon and bow.
No sentiment for now. I'll probably be giving this one to my Mom in a gift pack of handmade cards, so we'll see what she decides.
Happy Mother's Day to everyone, and I do hope you get to spend some time with your family.
Now for some challenges for my card:
