I've finally finished my last Mother's Day card (you'll see two others later this week) and can now get them into the mail (if I can find some stamps!) Even though my own mother has been gone for many years, I still make Mother's Day cards to send to the moms of my 6 grandchildren and 2 great-grands.
Today's card features spring colors and a delightful silhouette stamp of tulips in the garden plus a hand-colored butterfly. It came from Bugaboo Stamps and I adore it. This is one of those "git 'er done" cards my friend, Lynn, is so fond of making. Thanks, Lynn. I know this is your kind of CAS and I'm doing my best to mimic you. :-D The sentiment and the image are both printed on one piece of CS, cut with a die and added to the front of a pre-made card base.
