- The focal for this one is a 3-D Papier Tole foil die cut from Hot Off the Press and is called "Enchanted Garden." The various pieces are attached using foam tape to add dimension.
- The background is a glittery brown that coordinates well with the frame. It is from the "Indian Summer Fall Glitter Matstack" from DCWV.
- Wanting to bring out more of the purple, I matted the frame of the Papier Tole on purple paper and used the same purple as a strip across the bottom of the card. (I should probably also confess that I stole a couple of flowers from another design to cover the bee in this one. It was on the left-hand side. I just didn't like the connotation of a bee sting as a part of my greeting!)
- The "Happy Mother's Day" is an outline sticker, but neither silver nor gold went properly with the outline of the frame, so I took a little alcohol ink (gold mixative) and ran it lightly over the top of a silver sticker to get the color the way I wanted it.
- I used a stencil I got from Dollar Tree for the "I Love You" and colored it in with a glitter pen.
- The final touch is a lovely silver and gold ribbon that I had on hand.

Mother's Day
With Mother's Day coming up next month, I thought it might be time to share a Mother's Day Card.

Lovely, Cheryl! I really like the Indian Summer paper pack as well, the colors are so rich. You set off the focal beautifully, whoever receives this card will be very lucky.
