Creating for my Mom!

Happy Friday Everyone!
With time flying by so fast I thought I'd better get that SPECIAL card for Mom made before I found Mother's Day here and no card for Mom.  That would be terrible since I make cards almost every day!!!  And, the Bling It Up challenge at Cheery Lynn Designs was the perfect jump start I needed.


Mom loves these vintage images from Nellie's Choice (artist is Sandra Kuck), in fact she has some of Sandra Kuck's artwork on plates, some as statues and now she'll have a card using one of Sandra Kuck's beautiful images. My card is 5x7 in size and I plan on wrapping it in tissue, placing in one of those clear boxes and popping in the mail.  She'll be pleasantly surprised I'm sure ... maybe a gift card for dinner out would be a nice addition too!

Now about that sparkle and bling!
After creating these pastel gardenias (Cheery Lynn Designs B339) and arranging them on my new Cheery Lynn Designs 'Mandy Doily' DL276, I used E6000 spray adhesive and sprinkled Glamour Dust all over them.  They sparkle so pretty in real life!!!

The beautiful Mandy Doily is one of Cheery Lynn's newest dies and did you see I have a GIVEAWAY going on throughout May and this is the prize (a brand new one of course! lol)?  Check it out HERE.

Here are a few additional challenges I'd like to share in:
