This day is such a wonderful day, but it can be sad, as well. For those who miscarried a baby this year, or an adoption fell through, or you lost your own mother in the past year, this can be a hard day. My prayers go out to those who have suffered, and this day reminds you of that suffering. This card is also for you.
I joined a blog hop, with Paper Garden. They sent me some paper, and this card is made from CS in the Metallic Cardstock line up, Pearlized White and Stardream Kunzite. These are both beautifully shimmery papers, with a lovely feel to them. I am so impressed with this cardstock, I can hardly wait to play more !! You can vote for my card HERE, at the bottom of the page.
I made my card the standard 4.25X5.5, but tore off the front edge. I added the Kunzite on the inside to really pop the texture, and then added my image to the front. I stamped the panel in grey, with the purple sentiment, and then the panel was added with dimensionals. I decided the 3 pearls really would complete the look, and it ended up complimenting the paper nicely,
I hope you can all enjoy your day, and God Bless. Have fun and happy stamping !!
SOOOOOO glad to see you back on an e-mail! So kind of you to think of those who this may be a challenging day instead of a happy day. Quick hug to you and welcome back.

I was surprised too to see the email notification and thrilled that Julie is back! Beautiful card thank you for not only sharing the card you made but the reminder that this day may also carry some sadness.
