I am not much into mother's day, and when I was showing my classroom assistant my cards she asked if I would make her a mother's day card. I was honored. She's the first person who's ever asked me to make anything.
The set I used here comes from Close to My Heart. I totally don't get any credit for the design. They had a small flyer and this beautiful card was showcased. I loved it the second I saw it and finally had a reason to CASE it. I did do a few things different -- I patiently cut the antenna of the butterfly. Their picture cut them off and I just couldn't see that because they are so elegant looking. I used a different background paper and my card is a different size. I changed the sentiment - I used the word "Mother," and I added the pearls. Either way, I think the card is stunning.
I just love the dress dummy (I know they have an official name - I just don't know what it is). It does remind me of my mother, she had one when I was a kid. Normally I don't post cards that I CASE, but this one is just so beautiful that I had to share.
Thanks for stopping by. Have an awesome day!

Simply gorgeous! I'm sure her mother will be impressed.
Oh my absolutely Gorgeous Theresa! So very elegant!
This is really pretty Theresa. I remember Mom's! It was the most hideous gold color and black. I think they're called dress forms. Beautiful butterfly.
This is so pretty. I love the stitching. It looks terrific on your card. Great job.
This is very stylish Theresa :)
The butterfly is beautiful and a perfect touch. I have no idea what the proper name is for the dress dummy either! :) lol.
No wonder your friend asked you to make her a mothers day card, its beautiful.
