Mother's Day Inspiration!!

    Today, I made one of my first Mother's Day Cards, but I have a feeling I'll be making more.  I always like to make my Mom's cards very special, so I try a few before I usually decide which one I like best.  I also created this card with inspiration from some challenges awesome challenges this week.  I love challenges and LOVE trying to make one card work for many!  It's really fun and a wonderful way to practice!   I hope you like the card and maybe you can help me decide if this should be the card that I give to my Mom?

   I started coloring this cute little image from Bildmalarna, and this is 'Little Mimosa' and she is very first Bildmalarna Stamp I bought and still remains my favorite.  I colored her in three different colors, and ended up using my favorite, which is this one, colored in shades of Violet and Lavender!   My next step was to pick out some pretty paper and I choose a brand new collection from 'Memory Box'.  This set is all shades of lavender, teals, pinks and soft lovely spring colors.  It's called 'Enchantment'  and I fell in love with it the minute I saw it.  This set and Kioshi, by Basic Grey are my too current favorites.  How about you, which one do YOU like best? 

   As much as I LOVE the paper, I think my favorite part on this card are the wonderful Cameo Roses, by Prima.  I absolutely LOVE them and own them in several colors, but had run out of Purple...(imagine that).  My solution was to create my own Purple roses, so I simply did that by 'edging' them with a deep purple chalk. I then used a glue pen to add small dots of glue to each, and sprinkled crystal white glitter on top to add a bit of sparkle.  I am very happy with the result and used them on another card I made this weekend.  I'm learning more and more to buy white and them make them into any color I want!!
