Home Run = a Memorable Mother's Day Card

This week I went for a home run: Mojo Monday sketch, Heart 2 Heart challenge (Mother's Day), Practical Scrapper challenge (use up stickers) and Jeanette Lyton's Color Me Monday.

I'd have to say this stretched me and a few pieces had to be reconsidered or filed in the trash. I am rather happy with the final project though.  

At our crop on Saturday, we taught the ladies how to make crumpled flowers and brainstormed how to use them. A brooch for Mother's Day seemed to be a perfect fit and what better way to give them than to include them as part of a card.

Hopefully my Mom won't look at this before she receives it this card :)
