1. Added Offray Brown Bowin the corner of the card (I am not good at making bows using regular ribbons. Any suggestions? This one is created using the two holes punched in the card - but I still cannot get it right.)
2. Embossed brown cardstock by Recollections using Darice dot folder (I have miss-placed my Cuttlebug Swiss Dot folder - so I ordered two this week - one of my favorite folders)
3. Pop up Tape by Forever in Time is behind the Embossed brown cardstock
4. Added Life's Little Occasions MOM Chipboard images by K & Company
My Mother's Day Card is ready - and I will write my private message inside the card.

Like the additions you made to the card. For bow tying I have a wooden bow maker I bought from Cathie Rigbie. It has wooden pegs that you can place in the slots for different bow measurements 1" - 4" and you basically wrap the bow around the pegs, go under, over & tie and take the completed bow off. For smaller bows I use the pegs and place in styrofoam and do the same tying but making the smaller bows is harder with less space to work with but I've managed to make a couple of the small bows recently. Is a big help when someone like me cannot tie bows without it.

Love your card,Very pretty...
ReplyDeleteWhat a great Mother's Day card, I love the embossed panel, and the fancy edge across the bottom. Have you tried using a Bow Easy, that's what I use for my bows? Thanks for joining the Pink & Brown with Ribbon Challenge at Cuttlebug Mania.
ReplyDeleteGreat way to take a pre-made card and make it your own, Gail. Love your personal touches! Thanks for playing along with us at Tuesday Alchemy this week!
ReplyDeleteI find these ready-made cards hard to decorate sometimes, but you've decorated it beautifully. Thank you for joining in at Cuttlebug Mania this week x
ReplyDeleteCute project, but I did have to look very closely to find that green, thanks for playing with us at Gingerloft, blessings Hilde

Lovely card. Thank you for playing along at Paper Playtime.
ReplyDeleteVery cute card for "Mom." I sometimes buy the decorated cards too and them deconstruct them and make them mine. Thanks so much for joining us this time at the Tuesday Alchemy Challenge.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining the challenge at Gingerloft this fortnight with your pretty Mom card,
