Motherly Love

Good morning all,
Another new month so once again it is time for a new challenge at Let's Craft and Create This month we are celebrating Mothers. As usual the challenge is anything goes, but the option is Motherly love...can  be Mother's day, birthdays, just because...
The DT have made lovely cards for inspiration and this month there is again a lovely useful prize.

 I have gone with a birthday card as neither hubby or I have our mothers and I have taken on a project to supply an old aged home with birthday cards for the residents....so I need birthday cards this year.

I have used a Marianne Creatables die for the edging of my patterned paper.

The rose is also a Marianne Design die and I coloured it with inks while still in the die.

The sentiment is a peel off and 3 pearls to finish.


Will enter some challenges:
All Sorts challenge ..#518......Pretty in Pink
Crafty Friends challenge...#109...Use more than one die
My Time to Craft..#396 ...CAS

Thank you visiting my blog and hope to see you soon.

Love Ursula

CAS ...using a new image

Hello friends,
I am way behind in my postings, but celebrating my birthday on Wednesday and today being a holiday has meant lots of time spent with family and friends. Today was great with our son, DIL and 2 grandsons coming over. I was asked by Jayden the youngest, all of 5 years if I knew how to knit.. and he wasn't satisfied until I got out needles and yarn and showed that I really could knit. Then of course he had to have a go....next question. Granny do you know how to knit a scarf?....I now have 2 scarves to knit, 1 each. A red and a purple...so best I go and get the yarn tomorrow and get started.

Now onto my card. Last Sunday this was one of the new images from Digistamps4Joy, but I just didn't get it finished on time. CAS  is not something I am very comfortable with, but this image just seemed so right for it, and I really had a battle not to add anything else.



I printed the image Daffodil which you can find HERE ran it through the Cuttlebug with this folder, but don't have a name for it.

I coloured it with Distress inks.

The edges of the card were coloured with Distress ink..peeled paint.

Stamped the sentiment
