I spent this morning getting my first Mother's Day card made and it's a fun combination of recycled, re-colored, and both die and hand cutting. A couple of months ago, a friend gave me a stack of retro cards which I've been recycling into vintage cards. This is another one of those.
The rose and buds were originally white with gray shadings and I wanted them to be pink so I colored them with my ProMarkers and a touch of gel pen. I fussy cut the image, layered it onto pink CS, and fussy cut it again.
I die cut the doily with a Spellbinders die, offset the image, and added that to background dp from SU. I put the sentiment onto another piece of the dp I had used for the doily, and die cut it. I trimmed it by hand to fit into the corner. The final touch was the pink bow and the glitter on the doily.
