MOTHER'S DAY CARDS

 

This is the free upload I used for my card.  I have been searching for the source but I have not been able to locate it.  I know it was a lady's blog and this design was an old one she had kindly posted together with I believe two of her other designs.  I may have obtained it originally from Pinterest.

 

For my Mum on Mother's Day.  I like the small framed pictures.  If you get a Cross stitch magazine you will find many tiny cross stitch designs, which you can cut out and stick on hard cardboard or leather and frame with carved tooth picks.  You can then proceed to varnish it to give it a more realistic look.  The pink flowers I made sometime ago.  I cut them out of the egg cartons that is why they have that beautiful curved petals.  I stuck embroidered flowers from an old piece of material I had kept.  Just love keeping buttons, scraps of material and so many other stuff. I just have to stop myself sometimes, although I would try my hand at recycling almost anything!

 

This card I made for my Mum-in-law. love the lace and bow.  The small picture is that of an English Country Cottage.

 

 

 

The Mother's Day cards with the miniature gift paintings, which have a little message painted on the back of the canvas. I enjoyed making everything so very much!
