I Love My Mama


If you haven't noticed my mom has a love for flowers and I love to make flower cards for her.  This Mother's Day she received an early gift.  Early, as in end of March.   I called my mom one day and said that I was sending a package and that she needed to be home between 7 and 8pm.   My mom took that to be 7 am to 8pm and spent all day at home waiting.  Raise your hand if your mom misunderstands you.

I used my miles to buy my sister an airline ticket.  We met up at O'Hare Airport.  One of my friends, Michelle, pick us up at the airport.  I had Michelle knock on the door.  My mom recognized her and asked her in.  Once we saw her enter, my sister and I jumped out of the car and let ourselves in.  

We had a good time just having a girls weekend.  We showered her with gifts.  My sister and I are very protective since my father passed away.   So this week I will send her this card.


used Concord & 9th You Are Here stamp set.  I stamped it with Distress Ink Antique Linen so that I could do no-line watercolor technique.  For watercolors, I used the Mijello Mission Gold.  I experimented and practiced this a couple of times.  The sentiment is from Altenew Penned Rose.  


Please be warned that the video is a little long.  You can fast forward to the 14 minute mark if you get bored.  

Thanks for stopping by today and have a great day!
