Mother's Day

Here's my last Mother's Day card -- the one for my mom.

Supplies used:

• Purple cardstock
• Free postcard clipart
• Doily
• Gingham ribbon
• Build a lilac die (Sizzix)
• Beads (centers of flowers) 
• Butterfly punch (large and small)
• Beads (butterfly antennae)

I made my own paper for the flowers using my homemade glimmer mist.  I misted white, purple, and pink paper with pink and purple glimmer mist. Then I dried it using my heat gun and cut out the flowers with the build a lilac die. 

Here's a closer view of the hydrangea....

Here's the poem I included inside my card

A Cathedraled Life

By: Thomas Fessenden

You wrote no lofty poems

That critics counted art,

But with a nobler vision

You lived them in your heart.

You carved no shapeless marble

To some high soul design,

But with a finer sculpture

You shaped this soul of mine.

You built no great cathedrals

That centuries applaud;

But with a grace exquisite

Your life cathedraled God.
