I made a birthday card for the PTI MIM challenge: background stamping with sentiment stamps.
Cut my first 2 roses of the year & here they are with a picture of my mom, always in my heart.

Happy Mother's Day Weekend
Wishing all my US friends a Happy Mother's Day. Hubby surprised me with this beautiful hanging basket.
The word "happiness" from Make it Market Garden Gild was stamped in Soft Stone on a square of white cardstock. Decided to make a wreath so more of the background would show. I looked through some PTI color combos & decided to use the Twig Wreath dies with PTI cardstock. Must be getting old because this morning I realized 2 of the colors were not what I intended to use! Fortunately, I like the combo: soft stone, fine linen, aqua mist, scarlet jewel & sweet blush. The flowers were mounted with foam tape. I stamped the Tiny Tag in Soft Stone & inked the edges of the tag & the panel. Rosewater Nuvo Jewell drops embellish the flowers & I tied on white crochet thread. I'm also entering HLS Anything Goes with Dies, The Playground, Die Cut Divas & W2CB.
Cut my first 2 roses of the year & here they are with a picture of my mom, always in my heart.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.
