Saucer Magnolia

Good Morning everyone, 
My Mum was 80 last Thursday so I can now share the card I made for her. She loves magnolia flowers so I used this gorgeous image from Power Poppy - Saucer Magnolia.

I've coloured them with copics and promarkers. The background papers are from Make & Create. I've used a Hunkydory Moonstone flower die, a Honey Bee Burlap background die and a Spellbinders Grand decorative circle die. The sentiment is computer generated.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:-

Stamping Sensations - I Love.. : Colouring, adding dies but most of all 'my Mum' as the card is for her.

Allsorts Challenge - Something beginning with B  : Blooms

We Love Stamping - Favourite Stamps : I've used the stamp a few times now, it's so pretty and perfect when you don't want to do 'cute'.

Crafty Friends - Spring

Crafty Catz - Anything Goes

Through the Craft Room Door - Anything Goes

Emma had a break from her cricket over the winter (lots of horrible things happened last year) and we weren't sure that she would go back to it, but last week, she decided she would! That means, training is back on, games are back on and she has a bit of 'catching up' to do. My crafty time is diminishing rapidly!! 

I promise I will try and get round to visiting you all this week.  For now, I have to go and clean the house as my out-laws are arriving to help celebrate my Mum's birthday!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my little blog today and for all your comments and encouragement. Have a lovely weekend.
