Handmade Mother's Day Card

Mother's Day is Sunday May 13, 2012.  This gives us one month to create the perfect handmade Mother's Day card.  The rose is a wonderful symbol to do just that.  I love how a rubber stamp and a few markers can turn a stamped image into a work of art. 

Supplies used: Recollections pink folded card, Madeline Collection patterned paper by Prima Marketing, white cardstock, aqua cardstock, Cricut machine, Straight from the Nest Cricut cartridge, Inkadinkado rose stamp (#90575), Hero Arts sentiment stamp (#C2962), Craft Smart dye ink pad, Copic Markers (Dark Pink RV34, Rose Mist R83, Sea Green G12), and Recollections rhinestones.
