To Mum With Love

Good Afternoon

A very warm welcome to my blog today.

My card for today is for Mothers' Day.


This is for my sister to send to mum.

I used the papers provided at Debbees CDs DT Challenge Blog, and followed the sketch over at Craft Challenge Blog.  I also made the card into a shaker to meet the challenge at Truly Scrumptious.

I took an 8 x 8 card blank to which I added a lovely mottled-effect cardstock.  I added the 2 backing papers following the sketch.  I made an acetate window for my shaker, and added glitter beads, hearts and stars to produce the shaker effect.

The sentiment mat is a Spellbinders die with peel offs added.  I chose two co-ordinating ribbons to produce my bow - with the help of the bowdabra of course!

My card is also for the following challenges:

Creative Inspirations - Anything Goes

Allsorts Challenge - Anything Goes

Thanks for visiting my blog today.
