First of all, I would like to say Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there.  It’s a tough job, but an amazing one….and we deserve to be celebrated!

I made this card for my sister-in-law, Sonia.  This was her first Mother’s Day, and I was so excited to make it for her!

I used the Parisian Breeze Specialty DSP (Designer Series Paper), for this card, and I absolutely LOVE it!  It’s so much thicker than normal DSP…it’s almost cardstock weight.  And the texture makes it really beautiful!

I coloured the stamped image with my ink pads and blender pens, and popped it up over the striped grosgrain ribbon, which I put over top of the cardstock matte for the stamped image.  The Kraft card base and the Parisian Breeze Specialty DSP are sponged just a bit with a sponge dauber and Close to Cocoa ink.  I added a flower ribbon slide from the Styled Silver Hodgepodge Hardware kit to add some subtle bling.

Hope she likes it!
