A Mother`s Day Card

I finally got another card made! Only 1 more left to make for a Mother and I will be ready for Sunday.

One of the challenges I chose to work with this week is Card Makin`Mamas Challenge 44 - Spring Photo Challenge. Their photo this week caught my attention immediately. Here it is:

This cake looks so yummy. The inspiration I took from this picture is the colours and flowers.

Sketchy Colours had a sketch challenge for us this week. Here is the sketch Marianne designed and gave us for inspiration:

Here is my card:

I just love my Sara Kay stamps and decided to use Zoe Gazing at the Butterfly as my image. I coloured her with the following Copics: B02, B06, B12, E31, E33, G02, R000, RV19, RV23, V12 and Y06. other than the copic paper for my image, all of the other paper is Hot Off the Press. The flowers are Prima and the ribbon is Offray. I used a doily again which is Wilton. I decided to try adding paper leaves with my flowers so I cut them out on my cricut using the Reminisce Accents cartridge and CTMH green cardstock. The gems in the centers of my flowers and up the right hand side of my card are from my stash as is the pink butterfly.

I am entering my card into the following challenges:

Card Makin Mamas - Challenge 44 - Spring Photo Challenge

Sketchy Colours - Sketchy Colors #116

Addicted To Stamps - mother's day (card for a woman)
