STILL WITH ME...

EVENING THOUGH MY GREAT-GRANDMA IS NO LONGER WITH ME HERE ON EARTH, SHE IS ALWAYS IN MY HEART...AND FOR THIS REASON, I MADE THIS MOTHERS DAY CARD IN HONOR OF HER.  LOVE YOU GRANDMA.


I wanted to enter a couple Mothers Day challenges this week...and I know that the whole idea for making the projects that will be entered, is to eventually give them to someone special.  But, I still wanted to honor my great grandma because she meant so much to me and our entire family.  So, in her memory, I made this recessed window card.

I've entered this card in the Mothers Day challenges over at creativecutterroom.com, exploringcricut.blogspot.com and fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com.

                                         

In this photo, my great-grandma is holding my grandmother.

For this card I used the following cartridges and measurements.  Flower Shoppe-daisy (pg 18), cut at 2 inches and leaf # 5 (pg 26), cut at 2 inches.  Wild Card-I thought of you/phrase (pg 54), cut at 5 inches.

As always...I just had to use my inks!  I used a goldenrod on the tips of the flower petals and brown on the leaves.  I mounted the photo of my grandmothers with the patterned paper I used on the card and some chocolate brown cardstock.

If you are interested in making this type of card, you can find the instructions for it at splitcoaststampers.com. .  Simply type in recessed window card in the search engine.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and have a look.  Kathie
