Happy Mother's Day!

I was inspired by Karen Barber's Birthday card to make this Mother's Day card. I love the way Karen made the flowers look like they were growing in front of a wooden fence! This is too sweet!

I kept the overall layout and the floral fence theme but changed the colors, the sentiment, the DSP, and the ribbon.

I used Blackberry Bliss, Very Vanilla, Daffodil Delight, Mossy Meadow, and Sahara Sand. The sentiment comes from the April 2016 Paper Pumpkin Kit. Because the DSP Karen used is retired, I substituted the gingham pattern from the Farmer's Market DSP. It appears to be the same pattern but with different colors.

I also removed the lacy butterfly from the Butterfly Basics stamp set. It was placed on the ribbon toward the right side. I may end up adding the butterfly. I haven't decided. What do you think?

 
To secure the Daffodil Delight cotton ribbon, I used glue dots. I placed a glue dot on each end, one under the faux bow knot, and one towards the right side. That way, the ribbon stayed flat after the faux bow was tied.

I stamped the envelope and the inside of the card with a single stem and two Daffodil Delight flowers.

Mother’s Day Card Measurements
	Color	Dimensions
Card Base	Blackberry Bliss	4-1/4” x 11”
1st Mat	Daffodil Delight	3-3/4” x 5-1/4”
2nd Mat	Very Vanilla	3-3/4” x 4”
DSP Strip	Farmer’s Market DSP	3-3/4” x 1”
Inside Mat	Very Vanilla	3-3/4” x 5-1/4”

There were no measurements listed for this card. Some of the measurements were easy to decipher. However, the DSP strip at the bottom was a little tricky. If I were to make this card again, I would increase the DSP strip to 3-3/4" x 1-1/2" and decrease the 2nd Mat to 3-3/4" x 3-1/2".

I hope my mom likes this card and knows how special and loved she is!

Thanks for stopping by!
