For Mom
I’d like to wish all of you a very Happy Mother’s Day! 
I just got home from brunch at the Biltmore Estate. It was delicious.
I created this card for my Mom, using the Lizzie Anne set, “In the Meadow”. It’s paired with some Basic Grey Sugared patterned paper, and features the “poppin’ pastels” technique.
I love the vintage feel of these two patterns, and used that as my inspiration for the card. I used several colors of SU! pastels for the flower: pretty in pink, regal rose, caramel, moss, olive. It’s also heavily sponged with Ranger Distress ink in antique linen, and vintage photo. Cardbase is one of my new favorite colors, Prism frosted azalea.
I didn’t have a button that perfectly matched, so I airbrushed a celery colored button with my YG95 Copic marker. Yet another fabulous use for that awesome tool! I stamped “mom” on a piece of scrap, then covered it with a page pebble, and trimmed. This word is from Lizzie’s “Just Words 2″ set. The sentiment is also from Lizzie Anne: “Au Naturale”.
Happy Mother’s Day, Mom! 
Lovely, absolutely lovely!!
This gorgeous Trudee! So glad you enjoyed your lunch at Biltmore! Your mom will love this card!
Beautiful!!! I so love those to PP together and the way the mat and the image are torn similarly- I am such a poor paper tearer! I LOVE brunch at Biltmore and have been there several times! Shoot, I LOVE Asheville! I keep asking hubby when NASA is going to start an Asheville Branch- not looking too hopeful!
Beautiful!
What a beautiful card; I’ll bet your Mother loved it! I love the vaintage, shabby chic feel… I just ordered some of that paper today—”Happy Mother’s Day” to me!
Beautiful card Trudee! I love the way you tore the pp although it looks hard to give it such a neat tear. I am sure your Mom enjoyed her card.
Wow this is truly beautiful - thank you for sharing it. Your Mom must have loved it!!
Absolutely beautiful, Trudee!!!!
An absolutely beautiful card, Trudee !!! Your Mom will love it when the pony express finally gets there! Thank you for being you and giving me a beautiful day today!
Beautiful card for your mom! I love the way you tore the window into the BG paper to highlight your focal image. Just gorgeous! I have a silly question for you. I have been on a mission to find page pebbles. I have seen them on different sites before, but of course when you want them you can’t find them. I am not even sure who makes them, because if I had that I could find them. Can you help? Thanks.
You’ve outdone yourself! Stunning
Beautiful!
Many Blessings,
M.
