Bridget chose Missro or Robin to be our Featured Stamper. Congratulations to Robin a talented stamper for sure. I enjoyed strolling through your gallery. I came upon a simple but lovely card using an older image of a lilac. It reminded me to dust off this set to create a Mother's Day card. We had huge lilac bushes on the side of the house where I grew up so they really remind me of my Mom.
For my CASE I added some layers instead of embossing the frame. I changed the sentiment to Mothers Day and added a few pearls & ribbon to step it up for Mom. It doesn't show in the photo, but I spritzed this with Pearl Glimmer Mist to add a little shimmer. I'll create several of these for my upcoming craft fair. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you for viewing and commenting.

Kathy, I sure am glad you dusted off this set because this is just lovely! Beautiful CAS design and I love how you did both a dark and light version of the lilacs. I'm partial to the darker ones which will be in bloom here shortly! TFS!

This is gorgeous! Love the different tones - super image. Special Mother's Day Card. A few years ago my Mom had hip surgery and I painted lilacs on her ceiling and painted her walls purple (they hadn't been painted in years) - she was so happy when she come home. This reminds me of that. TFS.

I have that set somewhere in my collection of stamps. Your card may motivate me to go digging around to find it. Lilacs are beautiful.
