Celebrating mommy






















In Sweden we celebrate mother's day on may 29:th this year, so here is a card for all the mothers out there. I have used the popular field of poppies by ching chou kuik from plate 86. I immediately thought of this image when I pulled out the papers. My mom loves red so I wanted to make a bright card for her. I coloured the image with promarkers and used different spellbinders for the circle, borders and sentiment panel. The text is written by hand and says: "flowers have the sun, children have their mothers." I think the sentiment works so well with this image and is perfect for mother's day.

    Beautiful card Katarina. It looks so great how you coloured this lovely image with just the same colours like on the paper. And the sentiment is so nice. Never heard it before but love it!
    Hugs, Karina

    Katarina, so pretty! I love the shade of green for the circle border and you did a fantastic job on her hair. Like Karina said, the sentiment is beautiful

    Lovely Katarina! It's so light and elegant and so intricate at the same time. I love the wonderful cohesion between the image and the paper you selected.
