Hello everyone! I have another card to show you that I made for my mom whose birthday is on Monday.
She is the most wonderful Mother anyone could hope for! She has taught my sisters and me how to do crafty things like sewing and beadwork and how to make handmade and homemade gifts. I know she loves the time she and I spend together making cards and she encourages me to try new things each time!
With this card I made sure I stretched my imagination and used scrapbooking stickers instead of a stamp. I also tried my hand at making swirls with small pearls.
This year is a big birthday for my mom and I really wanted to make some special gifts for her! I made a little jewellery tin decorated with paper roses and with the same paper I used for the card. I also put three miniature chocolates inside the tin, so when she opens it there will be a surprise inside!
My mom loves the green material ribbon I got in a prize a little while ago. I made sure I used it somewhere on her gift!
I entered the following challenges with this gift tin:

I love this pink, spotty ribbon – in fact any ribbon that has spots on it I love! It goes very well with the paper on this card!
This sticker my aunt bought for me for my 11th birthday. When I saw how well it went with the paper and how the apron suited my mom because she loves cooking and gardening, I realised I just HAD to use it!
I really adore this little teacup! All the stickers on this card came in a pack and all of which suited my mom’s own style!
As I said earlier, I really stretched myself by making a swirl with the pearls because my mom wasn’t helping me! I am quite happy with the result!
These little slippers are so cute!
I also took part in the following challenges with my mom’s birthday card:
One Stitch At A Time Challenge - Make It Pretty
Fab N' Funky Challenges - Tempting Texture
Stampin With The Dragon - Anything Goes
Mami Doodles - Flower Card
Ooh La La Challenge - For Someone Special
I hope my mom likes her card and gift! I will share more photographs of her other gifts in a separate posting!
I am trying very hard to keep this card a secret from my mom! My dad had to correct this post for me because my mom couldn’t read it – not yet!! So please don’t say anything to her!
For now, have a wonderful Valentine’s Day!
Blessings,
Kelly-Anne
