Hello so glad that you could stop by. In the month of May, I always make a Mother's Day card for my mom and a birthday card for my oldest sister. This is the first Mother's Day without my mom and I am feeling heartbroken. Words can't describe how much that I miss her.
I am so glad that my sister's birthday is so close to Mother's Day. So that I could still make a card. I felt like I was making the card for both of them.
I knew that I wanted to make the card with flowers and different shades of purples and lavender, It's our favorite color. My Mom once said, "I can't imagine a world without purple and lavender". I agree
So here is the card that I made
While placing the flowers where I wanted them, I remembered that I had some Glad Press n Seal in my craftroom so I cut a piece to cover the flowers on the right side of the card and pressed it down over them and then flipped the whole thing over and glued everything at once and then I did the flowers on the left side of the card. It made it sooo much easier. Have any of you tried it?
That's all for today, thanks so much for stopping by, I hope you all have a wonderful day and Happy Mother's Day to all of the moms.
