Mother's Day Card and Handpainted Pottery

Hello, lovely ladies!

Today I wanted to wish all you mothers,

daughters, sisters, and friends a very special Mother's Day!

I hope you're spending it with someone you love

and who will treat you as special as you deserve.

I made this card using a couple of stamp sets from Crafter's Companion,

Sheena's A Little Bit Floral "Magnolia"

which is one of those flowers that you could stamp

a whole bunch of and color and color -- so fun!

I chose to do this one in shades of yellow with my 

Spectrum Noirs on CC Ultra Smooth Premium White Cardstock 

and stamped my sentiment from Party Paws "Bamboo".

I also wanted to share with you the pottery bowl I hand painted

for my step-mother as her Mother's Day gift.

I went to a wonderful local place called Claytopia

and picked out a large bisque mixing bowl and covered it

with bright yellow flowers to match her kitchen.

Here's the result:

The rim is a dark green, not black as it looks in the pictures.

I didn't want to give it to her empty so I filled it

with a dozen or so oranges. 

I hope she likes it!

Have a wonderful day, everyone!
