Today I'm posting my card for
One Layer Wednesday (OWL22). This week Susan was all about gratitude and on Wednesday challenge us to make a one layer card to thank a special mom in our life. Could be our mom, mother in law, sister, etc. I decided to make the card for my mom. I have always appreciated her advice (which she only provides upon being asked!) and the fact that she gives her love unconditionally. Aside from being a good mom, she is a very good gardener and her yard was always a riot of color throughout the year. There are some flowers that she likes more than other, Lily of the Valley being one. I have had PTI's Lily of the Valley set for sometime now and finally inked it up for the card. I stamped in it Memento's Rich Cocoa and then colored it with Prisma pencils and the blender pencil. I stamped the sentiment (a combination of "mom" from PTI's Women of Life and a sentiment from Lily of the Valley) in black ink to make it stand out more. I know she will enjoy receiving this card.
Thanks for taking a peek... hope you had a wonderful weekend!
Supplies: PTI Kraft cardstock; Stamps: PTI Lily of the Valley & Women of Life; Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa; PTI True Black, Prisma pencils.

So nice to have a mom who only gives advice when asked. Mine was the same way and I always appreciated that. I love that you'll give this to your mom just because....no special occasion.... that's the best! It's such a beautiful card too, Rosie! She'll love it!
Lovely, lovely card, and my favorite flower. I can't make it grow, but I know it grows wild in some parts of the USA.
This is so elegant! I know your mom will be pleased when she receives this beauty!!
So gorgeous, Rosebud! I always LOVE, love, love what you do with this positively gorgeous stamp! How sweet is your cute mom! I want her to tutor my mom, who struggles, sometimes, to keep her advice to herself! hee hee This is LOVELY! Your mom will be THRILLED!
okay now I need a blender pencil!!
This was one of my mom's favorite flowers too! You have done a beautiful job on this challenge!
I love one layer cards! Simplicity can hold such beauty. And I enjoyed reading about your Mom. I'd bet she'll enjoy it too! :>
I have a blender pencil...but I'm not nearly as skilled at using it are you are. This is beautiful. I love that stamp...I say that every time I see it used and it really looks awesome on the kraft cardstock. Fabulous card!
Wow, another GORGEOUS one layer card, you do such a great job with these! I really like how the prismas show up with the white on kraft.
Oh what a perfect card for your mom, Rosemary! Wonderful colouring on the lily of the valley! It looks brilliant on the kraft!
