The Card Concept #92

Any time there is a challenge featuring a flower I am inspired to join in.  The bold bloom at The Card Concept caught my attention and here is the result.
I started with the flower from Altenew stamped in shades of red.  I wanted to mimic the slats in the blinds so I stamped the MFT pinstripe background in HA Wet cement.  I used the same ink for my leaves and a similar color to heat emboss the sentiment on.  All that was left was a panel to place the flower on and I went with a quilt embossing folder. 

It's physical therapy this afternoon for a neck problem and then my daughter arrives tonight to spend Mother's Day weekend with me while her husband goes further north to spend the weekend with his mother and dad.  I think Lisa has an outing planned which will include some shopping and dining.  And of course a lot of  sharing and laughing. Plus I just got a text from my granddaughter-in-law that she and my grandson have sent a package of goodies for us to share.  I'm one lucky lady.

Thanks for dropping by.  I hope you all have a great weekend and if you are a grandmother, mother, sister, aunt or mentor then you are truly blessed.
