Mother's day card


For this card I choose one of my favourite papers from my HOTP cardmakers ultimate floral pad. It gave me just the sort of vintage background that I was looking for. I found a nice vintage looking lady for my main image and worked around this adding some flowers, ribbon, a tag, some pearl beads and a little sentiment. I made the sentiment by hand and just wrote the word Mum on it using a fine tipped pen. I pricked the edges of the card and went round the edges with a fine tipped pen to add some faux stitching. A bit of chalking gave it a bit of a distressed look to finish it off. Yet again this card was made to cover several challenges which are all listed below.
