Bit of a sombre post from me today. Today would be my mum's 67th birthday. I lost my mum 5 years ago on the 16th July coming. I miss her so much, more now than ever and a few weeks ago I was having a day where she was on my mind all day so I decided to make her a birthday card in her memory.
I used her favourite colours pink and green and also added flowers and butterflies, she loved gardening and was always pottering around in her garden with our Westie Robbie always in her shadow!
She used to love the crafty things I made and always let me send for stuff and get it delivered to her house so hubby didnt know!! lol
Love you mum xxxxx
Also been looking through my old piccies and came across one of me and mum sun bathing by a caravan on holiday one year! Reminds me of me and my little girl now x x Heres my gorgeous mum and me aged about 7ish! Many moons ago!!
The digi is from the very talented Heather Valentin's Lacy Sunshine shop.
Here's a card using Sky Lynn, another of Heathers Valentin's digi's available in her Lacy Sunshine shop.
Its hard to have a favourite from all of Heather's digi's but Sky Lynn is definately one of them!
I used Distress Inks Festive Berries blended around the edges of the card. Red and black cards for the layering and a black and white patterned paper. The decorative corners are using my memory box corner die that I'm still obsessed with! The butterflies are made using the Martha Stewart 3in1 punch. I go the lacy rosettes from the same ebay seller as I get my rhinestones from, the small sparkly ones I like to use in the centre of my flowers! The large rhinestones used on the lace were from WOC. Sky Lynn was coloured with copcis, but yet again havn't written down the colours I used1 I know her hair was using N1, N3, N5, N7, N9 and a touch of 100. I'm thinking the red was R59, R37, R35.
Thanks fior stopping by, hope you love Sky Lynn as much as I do!
