Die Cut Dreams Challenge #85 Special Friend/Mother's Day

Where do the weeks go?? We have a had a lovely fortnight of Spring Garden cards at Die Cut Dreams - please check out the blog to see if you are our lucky winner.

Our challenge for you this week is.....

SPECIAL FRIEND or MOTHER'S DAY

...........and the prize is:-

3 Chipboard door hanger kits, Colours may vary. These can also be found at Die Cut Dreams (currently closed but will open again in May) to buy.

Here is my card to give you some inspiration - it is actually going to be for my Mother-in-law who is a keen gardener.

I have used a Penny Black stamp I won some time ago but you can find it here. I have coloured it with Promarkers ..... here is a closer look..........

..... the colours are a bit better than the main picture as I used the "I'm feeling lucky button" in Picasa!!!!

The border was done using an EK Success large edger punch called Garden Flower in purple glitter card. The word was done on my Cuttlebug using a Spellbinders Alphabet set called Childhood. The paper I used was from a Papermania pack called Henbury Lane - I can only find the A5 pack but I used A4 card. The swirl is from Mariannes Creatables  and the nestability is Labels 7 and the gems are from Anita.

Please check out my team mates creations for some more fantastic inspiration - their links are on my left sidebar.
