A Shabby Chic Mother's Day Card

Last week I worked on a Mother's Day card for my Mother-In-Law. Today, I finished the Mother's Day card for my Mom. Here it is:

There is a lot going on in this card, but it was actually quite easy to make. All papers are from DCWV except the butterflies and the rose. They are from recollections. The card measures 6x6. The lace is from my stash. The sentiment was printed from the computer.

This picture is showing the layers. The bottom most layer of where the flower is was cut from Best Images of 2007: Tag one. The next layer up is a square. On top of that is Shape3 from George and basic shapes. Next is a ring cut from gold paper and grunged up with white paint and black ink. Layered on top of that is a rectangle.

In the middle of the rectangle, 2 flourishes were added facing opposite of each other. They were cut from French Manor. On top of the flourishes are leaves cut from the Ultimate Creative Sampler.
The pink rose is a series of different sized 5 petal flowers from the Wedding cartridge. I lightly inked the flowers with Vintage photo to take away some of the edge of the pink paper.

The butterflies were cut from a piece of paper from recollections.

This card will be entered into 2 challenges:
1. FCCB:  paper flowers
2. The Sweetest Thing:

I absolutely love this card. I think it turned out absolutely beautiful. It was inspired by the sketch but also by a collage I saw at a craft store.

I hope you think this card is a beautiful as I do.

Have a great day!
