Simple Mothers Day Card!

Happy Saturday Friends!  Hope your having a lovely day wherever you are!

Today I'm here to show you a very simple Mothers Day card I just finished making!  The ol' mojo hasn't been flowing much of late as you can very well tell by my lack of posting, so I looked for some inspiration elsewhere in order to make my card! 

I found this beautiful creation by Gretchen Clark who's work I greatly admire!  I have many of her cards saved to CASE at a later date.  Simplicity is her style and I LIKE IT!! lol

I don't like to CASE every detail to the 't' if I can help it, it's fun to find inspiration but then put your own spin on things I reckon!  I did love her colour choice though so I confess to keeping that element.

Here's what I made!


I've used the Blooming Button Bits stamp set from Papertrey ink for my card.  I really love all the pretty little pieces in that set that you can add buttons too - it makes a card more fun don't ya think?

Anyhooooo I won't stay and rave today, I've got things to do, people to see........you know how it is! lol

Until next time.............

Simple and beautiful, just my style! Love the way the colors pop against the kraft base, and your ribbon is absolutely perfect. My mojo has been on vacation lately, too, but it looks like you've found yours!

Simply lovely. Great colours, and those buttons are the perfect embellie. Mojo gonen or not you could never make a dud!

Happy mothers day my gorgeous friend! Hope those two are spoiling you lots and lots. If you're like me you'll have already done the housework though lol.
