Top 'O the mornin' to you all and happy birthday to my Mom! I always have a blast making a special card for my Mom's birthday (although, I think my Dad has more fun - he always sends her a flower arrangement and insists that the florist puts a potato in it - seriously - I can't make that up).
In the past, I've made her classic St. Patty's cards for her birthday, but this year I thought I'd try something different. She loves stamps of flowers and plants, so I thought I'd try my hand at using only that on a special birthday card (that I *hope* she gets in the mail today). This isn't really my usual style, so don't be too critical! LOL
It was fun playing with my new A•Muse|Studio stamps on this card! I added some detail to the leaves using colored pencils, and a white pen on the flowers. The little bird makes me happy. The rest of the card is growing on me :) Although there's no shamrocks or leprechauns in this photo - hopefully this will do the trick!
I love this card Jill; it has many of my favorite things! Flowers, leaves and a bird; I am sure your Mom will love it too, even if it takes an extra day to arrive! We moms cut children slack at times you know.
