Mothering Sunday

Well today is Mother's Day in the UK and as I can't be with my mam today (a little question of me being on the other side of The English Channel and about 600 miles between us) I sent some flowers and rang her to tell her how much I love and appreciate her. It's times like this when we really miss our family, I know I miss out on lots of family get togethers, but they're always in my thoughts! So my first card today is a Thinking of You card...

I was lucky enough to win some Mini Hannah stamps from The Pixie Cottage lately, and have used one of the stamps on my card, there's 6 cuties in the set! Thanks Michelle, they're lovely! So I'm entering my card into the challenge at The Pixie Cottage as you have to use the colour green on your card. I've used Promarkers to colour, and the papers are MME Asparagus. I've used the fab sketch at Papertake Weekly Challenge too. I found the card a little plain even with the flower so I added a few stamped details to give it more interest... I really like the effect around the sentiment, what da you think? The stamps I used for this are Studio G, I'm sure they cost about 99p for the set of 4 clear stamps. Bargain!

My second card is very different, not so cute but quite quirky! I've used Polly the Bar Wench stamp from Kraftin Kimmie (coloured with Promarkers), she's a bit naughty...

This is a miss match of leftovers from my craftroom; the dotty paper is from The Creative Cottage, it's part of the Monkey Pirates Adventure digi kit (there's some fab paper in this... I'll show you more very soon as I have another card on the go with this), the other paper is a scrap piece I had leftover from many moons ago! The red flowers are Prima, and the sentiment is a Kraftin Kimmie one. I've used another sketch, this time it's from Iris at Simon Says Stamp, another fab one!

Well, I shall go and spend a little time with hubby (more like pester him), not that I expect he'll want to know as he's watching the rugby (France v Italy), oh well, I'll just have to make another card then :)

Hope you all have a lovely Sunday, especially all the mothers, mams, mums... lots of hugs!
