House Mouse Mother's Day Card

[LynneH]

After receiving a gorgeous easel card from Princess4Wiz in the Valentine swap, and not recognising what it was, I thought it was about time I had a go at making one. They have since become my latest obsession and every other card I make seems to be one.

Here's another quick House Mouse card that I made to go in a box of goodies for my DH in Afghanistan. I love the sentiment on this one.

Those are just stunning, Lynne! I'm glad my secret Valentine encouraged you to have a go at making easel cards. I think these are just wonderful. Thank you for sharing :)

Never made an easel card, but you have inspired me to have a go. Yours are gorgeous, I particularly like the dog one and am not a dog person.

Your cards are gorgeous Lynne, as usual!

I made my first easel card for the Christams SS and can't stop making them now. The grand nesties are really useful, so I've got my eyes on a few more.

I love your cards Lynne, how did you make the flowers in the vase!

Easels are just lovely for displaying images.

[Ephemera]

They are really classy and stunning Lynne,

Love the choccy one too, think I might have to invest in some of the nesties!

That was very technical, ROC.......

I was at the Harrogate Show and I bought a Kanban topper. :sun: :grin:

The silver embossing is all done with the foam La Blanche stamps from QVC.

Thank you for the lovely comments ladies.

A wonderful selection of cards Lynne, all so different but all equally delightful to receive! :sun:
I love the simple little flowers you've done on the 'candles' card, are they cut from white card? Very spa like....! LOL

[Millburn]

they are simply wonderful :D

Really are lovely cards Lynne.

I had to bypass the choccie one. I love Thorntons and hubby bought me one of those massive two layer boxes for Mother's Day, and I am sick at the sight of them.

None for me at Easter thanks or will have to change my name to "currently known as blarf"!

It's a Martha Stewart punch, Kitten. It doesn't really show up in the photo but it's a pale cream Stardream card, the same as the base. I used the same punch on the dog card, along with a very small Quickutz flower die.

I didn't realise it was possible to have too much chocolate, Alice. Especially Thorntons. :heart: :grin:

Ah, that makes sense Lynne, I did wonder what sort of card it might be, as even with my poop eyesight it looks to have a lovely smooth, almost velvety texture to it, IYSWIM....?
