This is for FS202 and Mary Rose "maryrose" is our featured artist today. Congratulations, Mary Rose! I had a great time browsing through your gallery and I was struck by how sweet your For Mom card was using the old 1997 SU retired set Just a Line. For Mom by maryrose at Splitcoaststampers
I kept the same layout and stamp set but used a different article of clothing image and changed the color combination. I am sort of proud of my restraint on this card as I usually can't resist adding trees and other landscape to this kind of scene. I did make this more dimensional by cutting out the aprons for the line and the cat, basket and flower heads and popping them up. I don't think it really shows that well. I added my ribbon on the opposite corner from Mary's and left off the button.

Kittie, this is adorable, that sweet dp reminds makes me nostalgic for past times (not that I'm "old"!), and brings to mind country! I just love washing lines, we still hang out our wash most of the summer over here(can't count the times I've heard "oh, no, there's the rain and I just hung my washin out!") Love the way you've popped up the clothing and the cat and added the sweet lace and bow!
