Mam's Mother's Day Card

After making a few other Mother's Day card, I thought I'd better actually make one for my own mum! Her favourite colour is turquoise, so I've used DCWV Blossoms & Butterflies, Basic Grey Cupcake and DCWV Jewel coloured papers.

The image is Belles & Whistles Hearty Thanksgiving and reminds me of my little boy, Euan and his big sis, Louise, hence the choice for my mum. It's been coloured with Almond, Tan, Tea Green, Ice Grey 1, Cool Grey 4 and Denim Blue promarkers and a few Whispers markers (as I don't yet have Promarkers in pumpkin, flower or foliage colours!).

The image has been cut using my Nellies circle die and some punched flowers, Sizzix vines and buttons to complete.

I'm entering the following challenges:

Totally Gorjuss - the beautiful sketch I followed (very similar to what I tend to revert to when I need a quick card so I LOVED it!)
Stamp Something - Something Girly
Passion for Promarkers - Back to Nature (first time I've entered this one - think the stamp and embellies fit the bill)
Crazy for Challenges - C4C27 - Paper Piercing (believe it or not, this is the first time I've done this as I thought it'd take ages, but it doesn't so I'll be doing it again!)
One Stop Craft Challenge - Sew Simple (faux sewing around paper & letters, real sewing of buttons)

Have a lovely weekend, peeps!
