Amazing Mother



This card I made for my daughter-in-law, Smita for Mother's Day.  When I saw the colors for the Stampin' Celebrations inspiration this month, I just knew this was meant for Smita.  These are the colors that she chose to decorate her wedding.  Smita's family is from India, and they selected beautiful silk table runners in magenta, orange and gold, with beautiful exotic flowers, even on the cake.  It was probably the prettiest wedding I have ever seen, and the beautiful bride dressed in a magenta and gold sari was the best part.  I think my son made a wonderful choice for a wife, and she is an amazing mother of little Kol, too.  I am crazy for that little boy with the black hair and dark eyes, unlike any of the babies that I had with the blue eyes and blond hair.  I think he is precious.  They live in Brooklyn, NY, so we do not get to see them as frequently as the other grandkids, but I must say that 6 times in 18 months is more than I could hope for.

So, for my card I used the Amazing Family stamp set, Floral District DSP on Tangerine Tango, and stamped with Primrose Petals.  I jazzed it up with some rhinestones to give it that exotic flair.  Like I said, the color scheme was inspired by Stampin' Celebration Inspiration #66, and the layout came from Retro Sketches #62, and there were 3 challenges looking for Mother's Day cards at the Paper Players Challenge, Little Red Wagon Challenge #184, and the Pink Elephant Challenge #198.
I hope that you all have a lovely Mother's Day, and take time for a little stamping yourself.

PS I have a late photo to share for Mother's Day of Smita and her mother and grandmother taken on a recent trip to India.  So precious.
