Mothers Day is coming.

In the UK Mothers Day is this Sunday......my MIL loves handmade cards and gifts......and keeps them forever......so it's a pleasure to make things for her........she loves flowers.....so this Lili of the Valley stamp was perfect for her.
Coloured with copics......DCWV card........PM Rose Garden papers.....lots of layering....... Flora Doodles  flowers.......Martha Stewart border punch.....it's all more pink than the photo suggests.
One thing I have learned so far from my photography course.....everywhere in my home is too dark for photos!!!!
Used the sketch on Create4fun......Totallypapercrafts want Mothers Day........Crafty Cardmakers want 'feminine'........Cupcake Craft want 'flowers'........Stamp Something want 'girly' and Stamp with Fun and Rosie d want 'spring
I haven't forgotten that I said I would do some step by step photos of how I layer.....but sometimes life takes over.....OH has been in hospital for a life saving op 3 weeks before planned [we are just hoping it has been successful].......and my time for crafting and blogging is more limited at the moment........I will do this as soon as I have time.
And now I need to sort out my 'metal stash' for Shimelle's first class prompt.

What a beautiful card! It is always a pleasure to make cards for someone who really appreciates them. I also think it wonderful that you are so kind to your MIL. Sometimes they get a bad rap. Wishing a speedy recovery to your OH.

I do hope all goes well for you both. Hopefully doing something creative will give you something to focus on while OH is recovering.
The card is beautiful, she will be thrilled with it to add to her collection.
