Happy Mother's Day!

Good Morning! 

I wish all of you Moms out there a very HAPPY day!  Hope you are surrounded by love and laughter today and always!

I altered a mini wooden clipboard for my little project today.

 
I found this at my local craft store for a buck, complete with hardware on back for easy mounting!  I first painted it white and then covered it with Designer Paper by Craft Smith, Tea Party Collection.  And then the FUN began! 

 
I added a pretty sparkly glitter to the metal clip and topped it off with a chipboard heart, jute twine, button and a tulle doily.  Also added a strip of pink pleated ribbon, string of pearls and adhesive pearls.   Hummingbird die by Cheery Lynn.  


Next I began to create my little garden.  Many dies used; Paper Smooches, Foliage 1, ferns in white.  Frantic Stamper, Mix & Match Poppies, leaves in green.  The flowers are by Cheery Lynn, Gardenia strip small (my Mom's favorite!).  Sentiment by MFT, Sweet Roses, stamped in Melon Mambo ink on a hand cut banner flag.  Lots of adhesive pearls for accents.  As well as tulle added here and there.  The heart tag was created using texture paste and a Teresa Collin's stencil.  Die cut with a Spellbinders Standard Circle die, added eyelet and ribbon strips.  Then I 'painted' on a coat of Wink Of Stella Clear.

 
The 2 little scattered butterflies are by Memory Box, Butterfly Exhibit die, which I snipped apart from a die cut of 5 of them.

 
And I added a lone white fluffy feather to the left side....cuz let's face it....it needed one!  lol
 
 
Quite FUN to make....and of course......FABULOUS!  Even if I do say so myself.....and I am!!!
 
This project will be entered into the following Challenges:

Hope you have the most fantastic kind of day!
 
Enjoy~~

  2. I see that you are branching out to bigger things and they turn out as nice as the cards that you do. You really had fun with this one, using so may elements. I all sparkles and twinkles at you. I bet I know where this one is going.
