A Butterfly and doily for Mrs A and Mothers Day - Card 14

Happy Mothers Day to all my friends. Hope you got thoroughly spoiled today!!!
.
Our plans had to be put temporarily on hold. My youngest has a terrible cold and I leave tomorrow to look after my Mum (for a week again).  Mum just got over double pneumonia, so we can't risk me bringing any germs her way. Eldest daughter has been helping out her sister so has been exposed to the germs as well! Drat...We had a buffet brunch planned and had all the food in...even Strawberry Shortcake for dessert.

We shall celebrate Mothers Day together with Fathers Day when we are home again in June! Sounds good to me as it is going to be a very busy day here anyway. We had our annual perennial plant sale yesterday and so were kept busy Friday and even early Saturday morning, getting ready. We managed to finish the packing, set up the watering system for our gardens here and did a last minute shop! I must confess that I have a bit of a mountain of laundry to catch up on as well!

Here is the card I am taking to my Mum. We will have our own little Mothers Day celebration tomorrow.  This card fits in with Mrs A's Butterfly Challenge theme this fortnight. This is a true snippets card. The pink doily was punched from snippets and filed away in the photo albums I use for die cut storage. The scalloped circle is from those die cut snippets as well. The "You Are Special" is from a bunch of sentiments I stamped out for the grandkids to use, and then snitched one back for myself! lol I love to have prestamped items filed away, ready to be pressed into service. If I am inking a stamp, I like to stamp a few pieces before I clean it and put it away. How about you?

When I set the pink felt flowers in the corners, they looked lost. Everything I tried under them, didn't look right. Finally I found something that worked...hope Mum doesn't notice that the white flower I used to ground them is the smallest piece of a Memory Box Poinsettia die. lol I'm pretending it is a daisy!

I used 4 more of my flower stash on this card (the felt flowers). I am adding 4 more to the ticker on my header. I am not counting the poinsettias I die cut, as I am tracking the number of flowers I manage to use from my existing stash! It is good to see my progress so far...keeps me committed to use them up.

Here is the inside...I had already signed it when I remembered to take the photo! Sorry about that...
