Happy Mother's Day


Happy Mother's Day to all you Mums out there, I hope you're enjoying your day:). Here's the card I sent to my Mum in the end, I took a while agonizing over the right choice, as you do:). I came across an adorable free digi from Alison Spelman's Stretch'n'Bubbles blog, Alison has some lovely designs and is very generous with her freebies too. There are endless ewe and baa wordplays to use with sheep, I love this image!

I followed the Friday Sketcher's sketch by Jacque for my card, a lovely layout to use, I've another in the pipeline already using this sketch. The colourscheme of green and cream fits Stamp Something's theme this week perfectly.

I've paper pieced my sheep with DP called Catherine's memoir by Sandylion, just colouring her nose and hooves. The green is an Artylicious paper. Sentiment was computer generated, I downloaded a couple of free fonts to use for it. Ribbon from stash, flowers punched from the DP. The centres are white gel pen, I didn't want to add brads and risk it arriving late.
