Flowers for Mom...

This card is for my mom for mothers day. I can't believe MD is next weekend! This card is a 8.5x4.25 sheet of kraft paper folded in half. The blue bayou strip measures 1.5x4.25 and I used my cuttlebug swirls folder to emboss it. After I embossed it I took my blue bayou ink pad and gently ran it over the swirls. I used my nestabilities for the so saffron strip. The main image was water colored and its matted onto kraft and groovy guava squares. The "stitch" wholes on the bottom are actually rub-ons.

Distressed Flowers...

If the layout looks familiar, it's because its from Beate's WSC. These past two weeks have been really hard on me. Why, you ask? I HAVE NO CLUE! I've just been in one of those blah, eh moods. I even let it effect my school work (NOT good at all). A few days ago Kyle and I lost a bid on a house we really wanted :( so it's more time with the in-laws. So enough boohooing and to my card. I really felt like water coloring last night and I wanted to wc flowers so I dug through my closet and found my never touched fun&fast notes set. The bashful blue base is stamped with SU's retired french script bg stamp; that I inked up with bashful blue ink. The DSP is from SU's cutie pie line.
