It's my mum's birthday today! I made this card with her in mind (now I just have to send it ...). She's an amazing mum and I'm so very grateful to have her as mine!

Having been out of stamping for a while, it took me a while to get back into it, hence the sporadic posting over the past few weeks. No mojo ... but that's changed now! The sketch from 2 Sketches 4 You always gets my creative mind in gear :) I actually pulled out my sewing machine for this one!

So, of course, the details on how I made this card: it's actually pretty simple! The one flower is stamped, cut out, and popped up with dimensionals and the sweetest stem embosslit image behind it as a leaf. I think this is the first time I've used that embosslit and actually liked how it turned out. It's growing on me, anyway. The background is the DSP, not just plain Pumpkin Pie card stock as it may look in the photo ... it's from the Sweet Pea paper pack in the Occasions mini (I LOVE this DSP!).

Hope you like my card! Thanks for visiting and for all your wonderful comments :)
