Another Flourishes Challenge

A quick post today with my card for Flourishes Motherly Love Challenge. This challenge is associated with their April new releases. It can be a card for your mom, for a new mom, or for someone who has filled the role of a mom in your life. Have you seen the Flourishes' sneak peeks for April??? I'd surely love to be a winner of their beautiful new stamp sets!! If you'd like to enter this challenge, the deadline is this evening, at 5pm EST.

I just have to say that this card makes me happy! I love the crisp yellow colors (better in real life than in the photo) and the stamped rose popped up above the pretty green leaves. And the lace, it was a gift from my friend Melisa, and has the most wonderful texture. I don't really know how to describe it -- sort of like a soft fluffy felt. I used the Colored Embossing Folder technique for the Swiss Dots background. This reminds me of a dress my mother made me when I was young that was yellow with white dots!! The panel was not quite large enough so I added some yellow and white striped paper behind that just peeks out at the top and the bottom -- love the stripes with the dots!

I will be entering my card in the Flourishes Noon Time Challenge from yesterday, to use lace on a card. Also for Sugar Creek Hollow's challenge for a floral project in a primitive, vintage or shabby chic style.

Have a wonderful day everyone!
