{IBS} To My Wonderful Mom!

Good morning and hello!!
I so excited to share my card with you today!!  Don't you just love it when you have an idea or thought for a card and it gets executed exactly as you imagined it??  Well that exactly what happened with my card today. 
Starting with my background, I wanted a quilted look, so I used three different patterned papers from the Spring Lilacs Paper Pad.  I just altered them, until I reached the very top and trimmed off any excess from around the edges.  To complete the look, I embossed the entire sheet, with a very beautiful and semi-floral embossing folder. 
I decorated the oval frame, using some beautiful blooms and a double bow.  
The sentiment is from Mother's Day Bouquet stamp set.  I also used the frame from Vintage Pieces in the background, behind the sentiment. 
Here is a closer look at the detailed embossing and the stamping inside the oval frame.
Hope you've enjoyed viewing my detailed Mother's Day card, made especially for someone special. 

I would like to enter this card in the following challenge(s):

Hugs, 
Calypso

  1. Hi Calypso,
    This is a lovely card, I've been scouring your blog and just can't locate an email address for you. DT call at AAA Cards has ended. Only 3 elected. Thank you so much for entering. Please email me, you were such a sweetheart to link up and I have a little present for you- some digital Easter stamps.
    Wishing you a happy Spring,
    Victoria Lavender
