A Gift For MOM

Good morning it is school vacation week here so I have this week off! Did you ever notice how fast vacation weeks pass by so quickly compared to work weeks. There are only 4 days left before we go back and I haven't even made a dent in my list of things that need to be done this week. I have gotten a lot of coloring finished. This cutie is one of the new releases from Sew Many Stamps that I was lucky enough to win. I love everyone of them especially the little boy and girl, they are so adorable.

I made this card following the sketch for the Sew Many Challenge this week and along with the sketch the theme is mother so I made a Mother's Day card. I used my favorite color blue as the main color. I accented the letters with my Rubber Stamp Tapestry mini flower set. The one thing I couldn't capture was all the sparkle, all the flowers on the image and the letters have Star Dust Stickles on them so the card really sparkles IRL. This card is simple compared to a lot of the cards I do but I am really happy with it.

Here are some other challenges that this card fits

Sew Many Challenge #11-A really cute sketch with a mother theme this week!

Dare You to Digi Stamp Challenge DU2DS35-this challenge is to use metal, I used a metal heart charm on my card.

Practical Scrappers Challenge-This challenge id floss, fiber and ribbon. The first two I hardly ever use but I live for ribbon (especially polka dotted).

ABC Challenge-S is for SPARKLE. Love this because I would sparkle everything if I could!

Totally Gorguss Challenge #26-Charming is the challenge. I love to use charms so I picked a double heart for a child and mother's heart together.

Supplies

Stamps: Sew Many Digi Stamps, Rubber Stamps Tapestry, Just Rite Letter Stamps
Paper: SU Choc. Chop CS, Papertrey White CS, DP Bo Bunny
Inks: Copics, Ass't. SU Inks, Memento Black and Brown
