Mother's Day Card

Here is a Mother's Day card that I created using the Cat with Flower digital stamp from Motivet. The flowers that I used are fabric flowers that I purchased at AC Moore and removed the flower from the stem. What a great way to buy some fabric flowers. The bunch was just $2 and I was able to get about 40 flowers from each bunch. Making each flower about 5 cents each. You can't beat that deal.
