Card #6 for Mother's Day


I just love the look of embossed vellum! I hardly ever think to do it, so I was grateful for the nudge from Holly today on the TLC. It also works for the CAS to make a Mother's Day card, or May Flowers card.

The image I used is the May Contest FREE image from TreehouseStamps. Pop on over and get this image to enter for some stamps!!

This is the 6th is the series of cards I'll be sending to Mom for Mother's Day. I like to send her one every day for the week. She just loves to get mail, and she displays all of them where she can enjoy them. I try to make them all different, so there's no RED today, but there will be for sure tomorrow!!
