Mother's Day Sketch Challenge

I am playing along in this sketch challenge this week for Mother's Day. I had so much fun making this card but I struggled at the same time. I tried some new techinques that didn't quite work out the way I thought they would. I had to cover up a few "holes" where my sewing machine decided to LOCK UP! and I had to pull the card out and start over. I thought I would never finish the card but...here it is and I am pleased. I just love the Bloom and Grow collection of paper by My Minds Eye! Such a scrumptious collection of paper!! Can't get enough. And then the dreaded picture...they just never do my cards justice.

  3. I can totally relate to the sewing machine frustrations. My machine is celebrating its 40th birthday this year. You could never tell that it was a struggle. It's a beautiful card. Love that Bloom & Grow.
