Hello! I am so excited because it is time for a NEW Inspiration Challenge here at
See our pretty photo inspiration:
I have been so lucky that I have had the best, sweetest mom ever! She is almost 89 years old and now has to live in a Skilled Care facility. It is very difficult, but I know she is in good hands. When she was able, she loved to Tole Paint.
Anybody out there remember or know what that is? And then she got into painting resin Santa Clauses. We decorated her room with several of the Santas that she painted thru the years. It gives her great pleasure when one of the nurses or staff comment on her Santas! Mom was always happy in her craft room, so I guess it was inevitable that I would be too!
And now.... on to the card I made for her!
I got my inspiration from the pretty pink and mint colors of the inspiration photo.

TIP: After I stamped the flowers, I lightly outlined them with a light gray Copic Marker. This just adds some nice dimension.
