Here are the cards that I made for my DDIL’s for Mother’s Day.
I am grateful for my daughters-in-law. They are both such wonderful mothers and beautiful women inside and out. My sons are so lucky to have found them. I love them both with all my heart.
The flowers on both cards have been stamped twice. After coloring the stamp directly with a marker, a flower was stamped. Then I huffed* the stamp, turned it 90 to 180 degrees and stamped again. Stamping a second time without applying more ink results in the second image being lighter and adds depth and dimension to the flower.
Because the stem on the flower was longer than I wanted, I only inked a portion of it before stamping.
These cards are a CASE of a RAK that I received a few years back from epiphany. I loved her card! It is such a timeless and beautiful design. In fact this is the second time I have CASEd it. On the first CASE, I added a background stamp to one of the large panels.
Both of my married sons live in the same city and this past week I flew south and visited with them. It was so nice to see my sweet granddaughters.
Alivia has had a loose tooth. While I was babysitting the twins one day it finally fell out! She was so excited that there “wasn’t even any blood and it didn’t hurt at all”. lol
I hope that all mothers and all those who mother have a wonderful day this Sunday.

Hi, Susan! So much to see today… your granddaughters are sweet and BEAUTIFUL! Love the three panel layout of your cards, and the idea of second stamping is brilliant with this particular stamp. It adds so much more depth and volume to the image. My goodness, you’ve been busy, and I’m so far behind on visiting. I guess I’ve been busy, too. Have a great day!
Beautiful cards and precious little girls. You are blessed, Susan!
