Best Mom Ever!

Here's another Mother's Day card that I made for tomorrow:

I took a couple of different fonts and merged them into a rounded rectangle on the Silhouette.  I then cut it out from a scrap piece of cream cardstock.  A piece of acetate was glued to the back, and the entire panel was glued to the background with sequins enclosed (thin for mailing).  The paper is from Paper Studio's Khloe Lane, and the sequins are a mixture of Doodlebug and Hobby Lobby.  The card base is also from Paper Studios and it's ink blended with DI old paper to blend with the cream color in the print.

Thank you for coming over to visit.  I hope all you mothers have a great mother's day, and for everyone who finds the day painful, I pray you have comfort and peace.

    This is such a fun card! I love the paisley and flowered background! I need to use my Silhouette more. I love the way you welded the fonts together in that rectangle :)

    What a fabulous overlay for that pretty paper Kara and making it into a thin shaker card is a great idea!
    Have a lovely Mother's Day.

    What a fabulous shaker card! I just love that funky floral paper in the background. I like your idea of making a flat shaker card as well for mailing. One I must try! Hope your Mother's Day was fantastic!

    LOVE that background paper Kara...it definitely makes for a fun and bright card! Love that it's a shaker card too! When I saw your name pop up on my blog I realized I hadn't visited in a looong time and just spent a happy 15 minutes pouring over your latest posts, and you have some absolutely beautiful cards you've made! Sounds like you've been a really busy mom lately, but enjoy it, as it really does go by in a flash! Our youngest is home for the summer now, but in just a few short months we'll be empty nesters again. Thanks again for the kind words on my blog. Take care! :0)

    Fabulous cards, Kara - you are a marvelous, creative soul!! Your cards each speak of your talent and have such a style about them!!! I am sorry for the lack of my commenting lately - I have been struggling and doing some soul searching about life, my faith and my place in this world so I have not been on the computer much!! I have looked through your awesome posts with all your amazing creations today and rather than go backwards and comment on all of them I am going to start fresh!! I hope you have a lovely day and that you know how talented and cool you are!!!
