Greatest Mom!

Yes it's another Mother's Day card! I can't help myself! and when there are numerous challenges asking me to do them, how can I resist! I really tried to push through on this one and use accents, cuts, and colors that I normally would not. Of course I spiced it up with things I do normally use but that's ok too!

Die Cuttin Divas Challenge #12 and Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #57 both asked for Mother's Day cards. Scrappy Moms Stamps Terrific Tuesday Challenge wanted us to use the Paisley cartridge. and finally Paper Sundaes Challenge #66 was a sundae bar where the toppings were sparkle, pearls, die cuts and/or the color yellow!

To start out I do not have the Paisley cartridge but I did remember seeing a paisley cut in Stretch Your Imagination so I decided to use that. and to be honest, I've always just passed by that cut, never thinking I'd actually use it. and I think it really added a neat dimension to the card! again, cuts and colors completely out of my comfort zone! To satisfy the Paper Sundaes Challenge I used sparkly paper, the paisley die cut and obviously yellow. I'm kinda sad I don't own any pearls! I would have LOVED to use them! I put some stickles in the holes of the paisley cuts, used the Victorian Photo Punch for the corners and the ribbon is from Celebrate It. I love how the purple just pops on the card! Thanks for looking!
