It's my mom's birthday today...she's 73 but don't tell her I told you!! This was taken on her 70th when I went home and surprised her...we had a great week :-D TBH she doesn't look any different three years later and I just hope I look half as good when I'm 50 let alone 70!!
Confession time...I only mailed her card and prezzie yesterday {blush} but I KNOW when she opens her prezzie she'll forgive me lol. I won't tell you what it is because she reads my blog occasionally...I don't mind her seeing her card though since she won't get it until next week.
I decided to ink a stamp I hadn't used in a while and Tulip Ruby was the winner. Let me know what you think....
I coloured Ruby in with my Copics ... she was sitting on grass but I didn't like it so ended up cutting her out! I found a card that Mary J sent me and I loved the LO so I cased some of it and tweaked the rest. I cut cs and pp scalloped circles with my Grand Nesties and JT, trimmed them to the edge of the card and stitched them together. I cut a square of cs and a slightly smaller square of pp and stitched the edges. I embossed a white circle, stitched it to a kraft cs fancy circle then mounted Ruby with sticky fixers. I stuck everything together THEN with my NEW mini glue gun fixed a fabulicious Loopy Flower to the bottom left and OMG... I used my new Flourish die!!! I sent a picture of the card to Suzy Q to see what she thought...got a text back asking what that THING was in the top right corner hmph! It is my first flourish and I guess it kinda looks like I was desperate to use one the way it's sitting but TBH I WAS lololol.
What do you really think of that THING?? Are the pearls too much?
Bestill my heart...I adore this colour...

I think it is all lovely Kerry and the pearls are beautiful, not too much at all. I really need to try embossing the background paper too, that is such a beautiful touch and yes, your mom looks stunning for her age!
Kerry, your use of pearls with swirls looks wonderful on this fabulous birthday card. So glad to see your entry at the Crafts and Me Digi team's "pearls and swirls" challenge. ~ Rose

Love this card, the papers are yummy. You are so good at your flowers, one question do you have to make a box for the cards you make as them flowers are quite high off the card. By the way thanks for the nice comms on my LOTV card, they are pom poms not pearls lol, Gaynor :)
Gorgeous card Kerry and I'm sure your mother will love it. I think your flourish looks fab and that loopy flower - gorgeous! Thanks for joinining the Divas challenge.
