Mothers' Day will be really special for me this year, as I'm actually going to be a mother. Just writing that seems strange even though it's going to become a reality in just a few weeks! I expect the day itself will pass in a sleep-deprived blur so if my husband has any sense he will buy me a Mothers' Day card now!
I made some cards at one point early last year with various things I'd come across in my craft stash including this sheet of decoupage paper from Jolly Nation. It has a hand drawn style showing a woman relaxing in a bath with a glass of wine which is the sort of treat I think mums deserve on Mothers' Day!
I used a pink and pale green printed paper for the backing as it reminded me a bit of the sort of wallpaper my mum used to have in her bedroom years ago, then layered the pieces of the decoupage picture on top. I added a small 'mothers' day' sticker I had on a sticker sheet from a long time ago in the top corner.
I'm sharing this with Daring Cardmakers where the theme is cosy home, Cardz 4 Galz where the theme is think pink and Watercooler Wednesday where the theme is feminine.
Well, Caroline, congratulations on your impending motherhood. I'm sure your husband will remember to buy that expected Mother's Day card. Love the way you think. Yes, mothers do deserve that lovely glass of wine in the bubble bath on Mother's Day. Great use of colours and designs in your background. I love the way you've used the images and have added dimension by propping them up with foam dimensionals. Great work. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
ReplyDeleteA really fun card, Caroline! It really shows the perfect way to relax and get away from it all!!! Thanks so much for joining us at Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
