For the Moms!

Quick post before I dash off to work this morning.  Wanted to share the card design I came up with for this year's Mother's Day card:



I'm always late to the party when it comes to alot of the cardmaking trends:)  I finally bought a MFT rolled flower die and found some good felt to use with it.  The patterned paper is from the Basic Grey collection called True Love that came out before Valentine's Day!  And the wooden butterfly (colored with a copic marker) is from Michael's Recollections line.  Wasn't going to get the Memory Box Lorelai Leaf die but decided I "needed" it once I had the rolled flower die - LOL!  Sentiment is from Hero Arts and the little flourish from Papertrey Ink.
Other Supplies Used:  Papertrey ink white cs, Spellbinder Nestie, Michael's clear gems

This year I'm going to "cheat" and use the same design but different colors for both moms.  This one will go to my mother-in-law and I've picked out some pretty yellow pp with red and pink roses from Crate Paper for my mom's card.

I'm sorry I haven't been very diligent in commenting on everyone's blogs - please know that I've been taking peeks at what you all have been up to but don't always have the time to leave a comment.  I truly appreciate the time you take to leave comments on my posts :) 
Hugs!

Both moms will love this card, Robin! I, too, try to resist all the new dies that are out there, but I just love seeing how everyone uses them. Your rolled flowers look lovely against the leaf sprigs!!!

I thnk it's a great idea to use the same design for both cards! Why not? Thus us a pretty card, I like how you used the felt fleets and the Lorelei branch!

Too gorgeous for words! Don't you love felt roses & the color scheme here & the printed paper are just so wonderful, Robin!

So classic, Robin! Love the touch of that little swirly thing under the sentiment - adds so much. I have the die, but not the good felt. I know I couldn't mail a card with these on them, so I haven't played too much with them. Know the Mom's will adore these. Thanks for sharing.
