Mother's Day Card

After making sure I got mum her Mothers Day Gift, which you can read about on My Little Garden Heaven.  I knew I had enough time to plan and design my Mothers Day Card.  But bad luck hit me, I caught that flu/cold virus thing that is about at the moment.  So all I did was sleep which was just great as it was my week off work.  Once I got over the worst of the flu/cold, I thought if I did not start now I wont be making mum a card.  So I wrote down my ideas and drawn a template of how I wanted the card to look.  I knew I wanted to put the word 'Mum' in the top corner, then a flower somewhere in the middle and a doggie on the bottom.

Here is my template below.

Once I did my template I made sure I had the papers and materials.  After making sure I had every think I needed to make the card.  It was time to have fun and get creative, this is always the best bit. :-)

I got a piece of my white card stock out and cut a piece in half and then folded that piece in half, to make a small card.  Then I cut a triangle piece off the top of the opening side, then I put it to one side.  I then made the squares and the word 'MUM', I even cut the piece of backing paper out ready. I used my peel off marker pens (which I got for Christmas) to colour the word 'MUM'.  Then it was time to stick the backing paper onto the card and the finished squares onto the card. 

I had a template for a dog standing, so I modified him to be sitting down and covered him with pink paper then stuck him onto the card.  The only thing left to put on was the flower.  I went thorough all the colours I had starting with blue then trying the pinks and yellows, I went back to the blue one I started with.  So I stuck the blue flower on and popped a gem in the middle of it.

If you have read my 'Mothers Day gift' posted, you would know how I got told I shouldn't have got her any think.  The same again I was told I shouldn't of got her a card.

I have to say mum loves her card! She is still making lovely comments about the card.
