First, there is my husband's mother. You've got to love a woman who raises a gentleman. My husband is a true gentleman, and I am certain it is because he was raised by a true southern lady. She is well into her eighties, so we count it a blessing that she is here for us to celebrate. She loves a good Snoopy card, so I've called upon that happy little fellow to deliver our heartfelt greeting: "Happy Mother's Day to the sweetest mother in the world."
I stamped the image with Staz-On black ink and watercolored the background and letter. I then stamped the image again on white paper, fussy cut it, and adhered it over the one on the background. I finished the card with some ribbon, a computer-generated sentiment, and a die-cut lacy circle frame (Spellbinders) which I popped up over the image.
The second mother in my life is, of course, the most special to me—my own mother. It's hard to put into words all that she means to me. All I know is that if I can be half the mother she is, my daughter will turn out just fine. For her card, I've used a beautiful punched flower technique that I just discovered over at Kittie Kraft blog. (That link goes to the tutorial, but you owe it to yourself to look around over there. I'm just in love with her stunning style.) I love how the flowers coordinate with the floral designer paper and pink cardstock that I purchased months ago with Mom in mind. I've tried to capture a few of her strengths in the poem I wrote for the front, "If Ever," and the inside sentiment says it all, "You've taught me everything I know."
I hope they each will feel how very much we love them and be blessed on Mother's Day.
