I've had a card idea rolling around in my head for about a week now. This sketch provided the perfect layout for execution.
Using the Petals-a-Plenty embossing folder, I created my two panels on the front of this card. Dazzling Diamonds glitter was applied to each flowers center - but it's hard to see in the photo (click to enlarge).
The Pretty in Pink ribbon is now retired, but it was the perfect finishing touch for this card, so I just HAD to use it.

Wonderful tribute to your mom . . . thoughtful idea to provide the links. I really adore this card. Perfect balance, texture. I'm sure the glitter flower centers are even more beautiful in real life! Hugs, Auntie
