Paper Blooms Challenge #6

Yay, it's Wednesday, so it's time for another Paper Blooms Challenge!  This week's challenge is to make something for a woman of influence in your life.  This can be your mother, your sister, your mentor, or any woman who has made a difference in your life.  I chose to make a card for my mother.  

My mom has been such an inspiration to me.  She lives with us and has for the past 2 1/2 years, and it was such a great decision.  Not only do I get to have my mom here, but my kids get to be with their grandmother everyday.  This card is not like most of my cards, but I chose to use these particular blooms because the colors are very soft.  That is how my mother is.  She is a very soft and sweet person.  Because of her, I am reminded everyday how important it is to leave a good legacy behind for my kids.
Stamps:  Happy Mother's Day (Clear Dollar Stamps)
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper:  Sahara Sand, Pink Pirouette, Whisper White
Accessories:  handmade blooms from Paper Blooms, silver hodgepodge, Scallop Edge punch, mint ribbon

We would love for you to come and play along with us, and you don't have to have any of Leah's blooms in order to play.  But if you'd like to check out her Etsy shop I'm sure you'll find something that you'll just love!
