A spring wreath for Mother's Day...

 

I was going to use one of my wreath dies for this card, but then I saw a curved leafy frond die laying on my work desk. I thought, "I wonder if I can create a wreath with that?" 

Before getting down to the business of forming my wreath, I added a panel of DSP, matted with navy blue cardstock, to the front of the card base.

Then I cut four of the fronds from a scrap of green cardstock and joined them together in a circle toward the top of the card.

I also die-cut some small pink flowers and a white bow. I made sure to add a flower over any area where two of the fronds were joined together.

I added pink Nuvo Drops to the flower centers and a white Nuvo Drop to the bow's knot area.

The sentiment was stamped with navy blue ink and cut out. I ran a blue ink pad along each edge to give it some definition before popping it up with foam squares.

I stamped a sentiment on the inside and added a portion of a leafy frond and a single flower for embellishment.

I am making soup today--split pea with ham. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but we really like it. With some warm, crusty bread, it makes a hearty meal. 

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
