Sassy & Classy Mother's Day Card

Thank goodness its Friday!!! I'm so ready for the weekend. I'm sharing a card I made for Mother's Day for one of my dear friends. I love the way this card turned out. It is so cute!!! I should have massed produced it, but no, my cards are usually one of a kind made for each unique individual. But I'm thinking it would save me a lot of time at holidays to mass produce one awesome design.

This card is sassy and class just like my friend. I am loving the colors I picked for this card and the grey background was stamped by me to make my own print/pattern paper. The outfit the lady is wearing was printed on my Cricut Imagine machine using the Black and White cartridge, I also inked the edges with some white chalk ink and I love the effect it created. I added a cute tiny flower and a rhinestone with my iRock for some sparkle. Towards the bottom I added some matching sheer ribbon. The card shape is cut from Birthday Bash (love that cartridge) and the lady is cut from Forever Young. The sentiment if from MCT.

 Here is a coordinating tag I cut to go on the gift box. I love this tag with its scalloped edge on the bottom!

 I also added some black ribbon on the waist to look like a belt, but in the picture its a wee hard to see. 

I also stamped and inked the tag and added matching ribbon. 

I will be entering the card into the these challenge:
1. Exploring Cricut - use a Cricut cut
2. Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings - Mother's day theme with ribbon
3. The Ribbon Carousel - use a Mother's Day sentiment
4. Made Especially For You -  MD card with ribbon
5. Cardz Tv - There's no other like my mother
6. My Sheri Crafts - MD card use a flower

Forever Young Mother's Day Card

Yeah, I got one more Mother's Day card out the way. Next year I really think I'm going to mass produce something super quick and simple. But I always enjoy making a unique card for each unique person. So hard to break habits like that.

Anyway, I made this card base on two challenges. Sketches By Carly required me to follow a sketch and the other challenge at Scrappy Moms Stamps wanted you to cut an image off Forever Young.

The flowers were cut from Cricut Mother's Day Bouquet, the circle border is from Cricut Art Philosophy, the lady is from Cricut Forever Young. I added some Viva Decor Pearl Pen drops to the center of the flowers. I also made my own print paper (the light pink paper) with a script stamps from MCT.

Here is my card. I will be giving this to one of my aunts. I hope she likes it.

There is a challenge over at Sew Many Cards for you to make a card with your border punches. Well, OMG--I LOVE border punches, so this challenge is right up my alley. This is the card I made.
