Super Moms

With Mother's Day approaching, I thought it would be fun to make a couple of cards for my mom friends: 
 

The background in the second card is gray, not black, it's PTI Smokey Shadow.  I don't know why it wouldn't photograph correctly.  Maybe I should've asked one of "those" moms to take the photo for me.  Anyway, the sentiment is from Riley and Co. and I cut it apart to separate the sentiment.  The images are from the Paper Smooches Squeaky Clean stamp set. I cut the heart center out of the original washing machine image (yes, I cut out it's heart, yikes!) and used the circle (sun) from Paper Smooches Sunny Side Up stamp set instead.  I added some water in the machine with a Copic multi-liner.  I colored the images with Copics, fussy cut them, and adhered them to PTI Scene It: Basic Backer die cut in Sweet Blush.  I stamped a shadow under the images in SSS Smoke ink using Paper Smooches Shadows stamp set.  The top part of the sentiment was stamped onto a SSS Stitched Rectangle die cut, also in Sweet Blush.  The papers are MME My Girl, PTI cs, and some scraps.  The little trim of embossed dots was made with a Lifetime Crafts embossing folder.

The top card is looking especially girlie, so it's going over to play at SSS Wednesday Challenge where the theme is: Make It Girlie.

It's also going to play over at MarkerPop Challenge Blog where the theme is: Anything Goes.
