My mother returns home next week from her winter stay in Florida. It is definitely time to get her Mother's Day card made as things get busy around here the first week or two in May getting her settled back into her apartment. I used the flowers from Reason to Smile - appropriate I thought as her return is a reason to smile. But once the card came together I started smiling for another reason - those flowers reminded me of singing Muppets! I had to restrain myself from adding sunglasses and a nose to the coral topped flower.............Mahna Mahna............
Join us at Pals Paper Arts this week - Margaret's sketch will make you smile!
Can't wait to see the card where you turn those flowers into muppets! I can see the possibilities! :)

Linda, your posts always make me smile! Love that little muppet!! Hee hee! Such a beautiful card and as always, your setails are fabulous! :)
ReplyDeleteAs usual, this is wonderful, Linda Callahan! It will definitely make your mother smile!
ReplyDeleteMuppets aside, this card has got an awful lot of interesting things going on. I see lots of patterned paper hexagons, some twine, wee flowers, little rhinestones, vellum(?), twine, embossed texture and lots of gorgeous colors. I wish I could combine all that with similar stunning results!
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice card for your Mom. The intensity of color is awesome with the variety of texture.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Linda! So many great details on this one, including that awesome Calypso Coral polka dotted paper!
