Happy Mom's Day- Because purple is her favorite color :)

Good Morning!! It is such a yucky day here...rain and rain and more rain so I am hanging out in my crafty spot and being crafty :)

I made this card for today's post using the sketch over at KinderStampO Sketches #1. I have to say I really LOVE this sketch...thanks Jessica!

Since Mother's Day is creeping up so fast I had to get a jump on my MIL's card. She loves the color purple and I recently picked up some designer paper at Joanne's specifically for her card.

The paper is from Paper Pizazz in purple plaid and soft purple ferns.

All the paper was inked with periwinkle pigment ink

The sentiment is from Ditto by Studio G

The flowers are cut from Give a Hoot at 3 1/2"

I cut the flower part using the patchwork design and scraps from the background paper. Added stitch marks in my white gel pen.

If you are interested I did a picture tutorial on the patchwork design you can see here.

I added some stickles to the bow and gems to the corner.

Thanks for stopping by...see you tomorrow :)

Morning all! A quick welcome to all my new followers. I love waking up in the morning to see new faces following me. I also LOVE reading your comments so please keep them coming :)

This is going to be another quick post. I am busy working on my project for the Red Hatter's Blog Hop that starts tomorrow. I hope you all join in the fun. I know there are going to be lots of giveaways :)

I just got the Give a Hoot cartridge the other day and a I-rock so I wanted to give them a try. Make something for any occasion.
There are so many cute cuts on this cartridge. I wanted to try them all!!

Sorry for the quick and not informative post but I have TONS to do today. I will see you all tomorrow!

Until then.....
