My mother turns 60 in a few weeks, and I wanted to make her an extra-special card. She's had a lot of health issues the last few years, so every birthday is a gift to all of us ... and I like to express my love and appreciation every chance I get.
To me, my mother has always been a hero. In an age when going out to work first became fashionable, she chose to be a stay-at-home mom. She invested a lot of time and effort in me. I hope to be the same kind of mother for my children!
I love the sketch, the colors you chose and how you used the fleur de lis positive and negative, very creative! The pearls are such a pretty touch too! Your Mom is going to just love this card!!
