Today was the day I needed to get my box of cards into the mail for OWH to catch the Mother's Day shipping. While poking around in my printed papers I came across the little collage image that had Mother's Day written all over it. And what was even better it would go perfectly with the sketch for this week. Don't you love it when that kind of thing happens?
All the papers are bits and pieces from my stash. The sentiment is one of a set of Mona Lisa Moments from Cornish Heritage Farms.
Erika kindly shared her sketch with us at the Stars and Stamps blog. I confess I took liberties with it. I've been working on Father's Day cards for OWH and this sketch plus the sentiment stamp felt like a good match.
I pulled out some earth tone scraps to see if I could use some on these cards. I also added some sections of color from printed ads. The stamp was from Michaels dollar bin last year. It came out too late for OWH cards so I got to use it fresh this week.
The border punch from EK Success echoed the pattern on the sentiment stamp. Had to use them together don't you know! There is dry embossing on the center section which I didn't manage to catch with the photo. More cards finished for our troops to send home. I love that.
