Cards for Mom

The Operation Write Home deadline for Mother's Day cards is fast approaching (March 31st). This year I opted to make several "Love You, Mom" cards instead. These can be used for the holiday or anytime of the year since it is always good to send Mom some love.
I purchased this stamp from a catalog last year and was surprised to see how large it was when it arrived. It was meant to be used for moms or sweethearts and I was determined to make it work. After a couple of fails, I settled on this simple design. The image is raised with dimensionals behind the black scalloped frame.



Image: "Deco Lady" by Stampendous
Dies: Spellbinders
Emossing Folder: Cuttlebug
CS: Bazzill
Turquoise Ink: Spectrum Noir
Black Ink: "Tuxedo Black" by Memento
Red Lips: Colored Pencil
Sentiment: "Curlz MT" font printed from MS Word.
