Friday Fun Challenge #31

This week we had another challenge presented to us by Kim. This week we were to make a Mother's Day card using the recipient's favorite color. I actually ended up making two cards, one for my mother and one for a very good friend of mine who helps me to be a better mother by being there to listen to me and give me a break once in a while. I actually like the second card better than the first, but that's ok, I know my mom will love her card because it was hand made by me :)




When I think of my mother I picture her wearing a Cameo Coral sweater set. I know I have purchased several for her over the years.

Black and White and Red all over

This week our Sassy/Fab Friends challenge was to create a card using all black and white with just a splash of something else. I think that the black and white cards look very elegant....usually not my thing, but I gave it a shot and added just a splash of Real Red. When I was finished it seemed to be missing something...so I brushed the whole thing with PearlEx Micropearl to give it jut a bit of a shimmer which you can't really see from the picture. Just by adding that little bit of shimmer makes the card look that much more elegant. I will be giving this card to my sister-in-law this weekend for her birthday.
