More Buttons and Bows for Mom.

I have another Mother's Day card to share with you today.

As I read through the sweet comments people have been leaving it occured to me that I should be thanking all of you not only for the touching comments which I appreciate more than you know but that I should also thank you for offering such wonderful challenges and sharing your extremely talented design teams with us.

The challenges have helped me try some combinations I may not have tried AND to use some of those craft items that I just HAD TO HAVE but haven't used or used very little.
So thank you to everyone for the inspiration!!!

On with my card....



*Card base 5.5 x 4.25 in.
*Card front 5.25 x 4 in.
*Dot design strip 1.75 x 4 in. using the 8 x 8 Making Memories Garden Party pad.
*Strips cut at .75 x 3.5 in. using the 8 x 8 Making Memories Garden Party pad.
*Flower cut at 1 in. from the Cricut Accent Essential cartridge.
*Bow cut at 1.5 in. from the Cricut New Arrival cartridge.
*Tiny itty bitty buttons from my stash.
*Sentiment stamped using a River City Rubber Works stamp.
