Mom You're The Best!!!

Well, this has been a week of Mother's Day cards and I wanted to share one more with you.  You know that his Charlotte stamp from Kraftin' Kimmie is a favorite of mine.  She so reminds me of ME and I love to color that hair!!!  I used some Basic Grey Sugared DP that I've had forever.  I added a little Shimmerz to her headband and skirt to give it a little sparkle.  And ribbon is a beautiful chocolate velvet from my stash.  I punched holes in the embossed holes because there was a challenge out there for "holes" in your card...but I forgot where I saw it.  LOL  The sentiment is computer generated font called 2 Peas Scrapbook.

This is for the following Challenges:

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps = Pink Chocolate Vanilla
All That Scraps = Pink & Brown
Raise The Bar Challenge 17 = For Mom
If The Shoe Fits Scrap It 33 For Mom

A 2 Cute Mother's Day!!

Hi Everyone!! This is my first official card for the 2 Cute Rubber Stamps Design Team. I've used their images before and I always have a hard time choosing images to use because they are all just 2 Cute!!! :)

Please make sure you go and check out the 2 Cute DT Blog for great ideas and inspiration and the Store to purchase your 2 Cute stamps. Heidi the owner offers her stamps 3 different ways...cling mount, wood mount, and digi. You can have your images any way YOU prefer! How awesome is THAT?!?!? Oh, and all wood mounted stamps are 50% off off right now, so it's a great time to buy.

2 Cute will also have a challenge and a FREE digi image starting May 13th!! Please make sure to join us.

I've used the Owl Miss You digi image for my Mother's Day card. This little owl is perfect for any occasion. (Teacher Appreciation and the end of school is coming up) I also love that it's a digi image...I flipped this image so that the flower would be to the left of the owl instead of the right. It suited my sketch better that way; which is why I'm a huge fan of of digi images. You can manipulate them to fit your needs. Need it larger? smaller? NO PROBLEM!!

I LOVE this card. Don't you love when a project turns out better than you expected? Even my hubby loved it. When he saw it yesterday he said, "Oh, don't give that one away!" LOL

I want to share a quick tip with you....I didn't have the right colored flower to use on this card, so I found a little ivory rose in my stash and colored it with my Copic marker to match PERFECTLY!!! I love my Copics. :)  I'm always finding new ways to use them.
