Happy Mom's Day to all of you out there! Hope it's special for you in every way.
Our Mom has been gone 3 years now, but lilacs are forever connected in my mind to Mother's Day because of her. So I pulled out these dies and made a card for the occasion. I was going to put "miss you" as the sentiment, but couldn't find one that was just right, so I'm leaving a sentiment off for now.
supplies: white, pale and medium aqua cardstock, Sunny Studios Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace dies, The Greetery Botanicuts Lilacs, Simon Says Stamp Pretty Bows die
These lilac dies are the most realistic of any I've seen - Betsy gives you individual florets to add to the body of the lilac flowers to add dimension and more color. They are a treasure! This year I added a new Simon bow to this sprig of them, popped up with a tiny adhesive foam piece.
Thanks for stopping by - have a lovely day!

Such a beautiful tribute to your mom, Lin! Love your lilacs - we're waiting for ours to bloom here in MN. My mom's been gone 3 years too & she also loved flowers. Hope you're having a wonderful Mother's Day!!
Lilacs are my favorite and you have me looking at this die again! Fabulous card, Lin. Happy Mother's Day!
Super pretty Lin. A really lovely card.
