You're the Best, Mom!

I am slowly building up my collection of Avery Elle stamps, and can play in their challenges.  This challenge is for Mother's Day.

Challenge 6

My Mom loves hot pinks and bright purples and so that's where I started.  I thought this big flower would please her, stamped in a bright pink, with lime leaves, and I chose a pleasing purple for the background.  Then I decided to make a shaker card.


supplies: Avery Elle Petals & Stems and Framed Fonts, Simon's Doll Pink and Apple Green inks, VersaMark ink and Hero Arts white embossing powder, Nesties scalloped rectangle, Sizzix flowers embossing folder, Hero Arts Upper Case Alphabet dies, various sequins in hot pink, green, and clear

Thanks for stopping by today!
