Mama, Eres Increible (Mom, You Are Incredible)

I have a confession to make… when I began putting this card together, I had every intention of following a card sketch challenge.  But then I realized the challenge was over… LMBO.  So, I turned it into this beauty!  There are no mistakes in cardmaking.

This gorgeous Garden Green cardstock makes the perfect pair with the Old Olive and Daffodil Delight cardstocks.  It makes the flower from Wildflower Meadow look so stunningly bright!  It's so stinkin' cute… I can't stop giving myself kudo's… LoL.

The envelope was made with the Envelope Punch Board and all I can say is I LOVE IT!  Hands down.  See how it works here.

I recently learned a technique from Sally Allnock of Operation Write Home when using die-cuts.  She cut the parts of the stamp that would otherwise be cut off.  You can watch her video here.

Although it looks like I used water coloring… I did not.  I simply colored a portion of the Wildflower Meadow stamp with our markers.

  1. Love your card Maggie. Yup – I thought you water colored too!

    That is sooooo awesome of you to send your momma a card once a week. It sounds like you already treasure and spoil her. That’s so awesome!!!

    Hang in there Maggie….not much longer! Take care!

  2. Beautiful, and I did think you used water colors!

  3. Maggie, what a beautiful card. Thanks so much for sharing. Don’t know how I missed that video of Sandy’s….so glad I watched it now, and I wonder…..why didn’t I think of that?? Hope you come home soon…
