Cat With Flower

Here is another card that I made earlier tonight. This one uses the digital stamp from Motivet called Cat with Flower. It's very hard to tell what color the 3 embellishments in the upper corner are. They are green pearls. But when I took the picture they ended up looking much darker than they actually are. I also added glitter to the flower on the image and to the pink centers of the flowers, but it is hard to see in this picture.

Greatest Blessings Bookmark

Every year for Mother's day we get something special for the mothers in our church. So for this year I had an idea of making a bookmark for each of the mothers. This is what I came up with. I used this cute image from Mo's Digital Pencil Too called "Bye Bye". I found this sentiment as a freebie from Tattered Angels a while ago. It says "My greatest blessings call me mother." I printed the image and saying onto white cardstock. I cut across the bottom with scalloped scissors and then backed it in red cardstock. Then added 3 red gemstones and punched a hole in the top center and added a red ribbon.
