For Mom

So many things happening this month and week! I have mentioned all month long that it's National Scrapbooking Month and in yesterday's post I also talked about celebrating National Bicycling Month. This week also celebrates Teachers and Nurses. Plus, this Sunday is Mother's Day! At the florist shop we are in high speed filling orders and to add to the chaos our high school is holding Senior Prom Saturday night!  {Oh my!}

It's a good thing I created my Mother's Day cards last month!! I am sharing these cards with The Paper Players challenge this week that focuses on Mom! I was inspired by a tutorial from Betsy Veldman on a water color embossing technique. It creates such a beautiful image and it's a lot of fun to do! You can find a tutorial video on the technique here. I was able to use all Close To My Heart stamps, re-inker's and embossing powders to re-create this project.
