Retro Mother's Day

I needed to make another Mother's Day card and I loved the sketch at Retro Sketches this week so used that to make one.  http://retrosketches.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/retrosketches-107.html

I die cut a peony from striped paper letting it hang over the edge.  I cut it again from red spotted paper and pieced the petals into the outline and then removed the outline to leave white space.  Finished with a sentiment from the Crafts Meow.

New Elzybels Stamps

With mother's day approaching fast, my delivery of the new Elzybels "floral flourish" stamps could not arrive quick enough. It came yesterday and I didn't have much time to play last night but this is my first card made with them.
Can't wait for a bit of time this weekend to make some more - and if I concentrate, they might even not all turn out pink.........
