Mother's Day Card - For a Super Mum!




Hi Blogging Beauties,

Anything Goes is the challenge this fortnight at Southern Girls.  How easy is that!!
Link up your card here for great prizes from Simply Betty and The Stamp Fairy!

I made my card for my Mum for Mother's Day.
She loved this card.
I coloured with Copics:
Skin: E21, E00, R20, E02
Hair: YR68, R17, R59, E08, YR61, R37
Lips: R59, R37
Blue Dress: B00, B05, B02


I made these flowers with felt paper, kindy glitz and pearls.

The sad news is that Milly our goat had to be put down by the vets today.
Ben and I are devastated.
We dont know why she was sick.  It has been a very traumatic day.
We planted a tree in her memory.
We loved her very much.

So sorry to hear your sad news Alicia. I know what it's like as we had the same with one of our bunnies a couple of years back and I still miss her a lot.
Hope you and Ben manage to get over your loss soon and sending hugs,
Fliss xx

Beautiful card, I can see why your Mum loved it. Sorry to hear about Milly. Loosing a loved pet can be so difficult as they become such a part of your family. The pain eases but the memories won't fade, besides you're such a talented artist I'm sure you can scrap up some beautiful pages to preserve those memories.
Cheers,

Hugs from here :( such sad news, always hard when a pet dies.I grew up on a farm and I still never got used to losing animals. My Dad hated it when pets died, he was such a softie for a farmer to the point where he wouldn't tell any one for days if one of our animals passed away. Love the tree planting in her memory.

Gorgeous card as well. xx

Gorgeous card Alicia.....I was just looking at the photos of Milly and remembering when we had 5 goats.
So sorry you had to lose her....they are such wonderful creatures aren't they. Ours kept us amused for hours at a time. Hopefully you will one day be able to offer a home to another little mischievous kid!!!
