Another Mother's Day card

Well, here is another Mother's day card. I really like how it turned out!
I like the first view because the water looks so sparkly, and the second view, because you can see the darker pools around her feet!
Recipe:
Paper: Lavender Lace, DCWV Glitter Mat Stack, PTI White
Stamps: SU Summer by the Sea, Penny Black (Verse), Misc flower
Accessories: Prismacolor Pencils, Pebbles Chalk, Primas, Brads, Gems, Stickles, Creative Memories Corner Rounder

My Mom, brother Cliff, my daughter Cristine, and I went to the Donor Remembrance Ceremony today. It was a very moving experience. There was a lot of crying, but also many smiles too. I'm sure my Dad's gift will benefit a lot of people. It will take some time yet before we hear from anyone that received my Dad's tissue. (If they decide to share with us.) If anyone is interested in learning more about MTF (Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation) , you can email at : http://www.mtf.org/

See my previous post to view the *Butterfly* I decorated and the quilt square that will be added to one of the Local quilts.

*A Butterfly: A symbol of hope and new life.

Secret Sister #4 Unusual Fold card

Image
Here is my Secret Sister Challenge #4. We were to make a card with an unusual fold.  I'm not sure what this fold is called. I have made it before, but this time seemed a bit more challenging!!  I hope you can tell that it is PURPLE!!   I hope my SS likes it.  I did emboss the flowers, sponged around the edges and added bling! She does like bling!! The paper is SU Lavendar Lace, and Gina K Vibrant Purple. I used Stephanie Barnard's the Stamps of Life , Thanks 2you, for the flowers, and Banners 4all for the "hi". This is the partially opened position. I added 2 Primas and a rhinestone brad. This is the open position. I hope my SS likes this one. I LOVE the colors myself!!! Here are the dimensions if you would like to try the card yourself. 1.Cut an 8-1/2 x 11 peice of cardstock in half lengthwise. 2.Score at the dimensions marked. Here is what it looks like when scored. I cut the contrasting color 1/8" smaller.  This card has a circle tha...
