Celebrating With You Today

With Mother's Day approaching quickly, the Polkadoodles Challenge this week is all about celebrating those special ladies!

For my Design Team project, I selected Love Bird Rose Flower to make this celebration card. 

After sizing the image to just under 3", I printed the image and then colored  her with Copic markers.   I used the Gina Marie Designs X-Stitched Oval die on the completed image. 

For the background, I used Whimsy Stamps Checkerboard Background die with the deep red cardstock.  I also cut a piece of yellow cardstock about 1/4" larger than the checkerboard piece.  

I used a standard A2 card base and secured the layers as shown.  I added the sentiment across the bottom of the card front and the white organza ribbon and bow at the fold to complete the card design.

This is my final posting as a Polkadoodles Design Team member as I have decided to step down.  It has been a great experience working with such talented card makers and using the Polkadoodle images.  They are some of my absolute favorites.  

Thank you for stopping by today to view my blog. I enjoy sharing my work with you and invite you to 'Follow' my blog and to visit my site - "Not Just Scraps' on Facebook - where you can purchase my cards.
