It's Your Day, Mom!

Happy Mother's Day! In honor of Mother's Day, I've got a Mom card to share with you.

I did some heavy distressing with my Distrezz-It-All, sandpaper, a rasp, ink, and water. I love distressing!!! All the dp, including the smaller rectangle with the text on it, came from an old K&Co. paper pad. I was following Color Throwdown's current color challenge and needed a rose color, and didn't have anything that was just right, so I went with the closest color, embossed it, sanded over that, then inked over it. The main sentiment is a Flourishes' stamp. The black matting behind it is a Splendid Circles die cut. I love that with the circle die cut inside and the black edges crimped up, it looks like a bottle cap. Neat! ;)

On the inside, I stamped one of the rose images from Flourishes Sweet Nature stamp set, by stamping off once first. I didn't worry about getting all the excess ink off, as I think the darker areas add to the distressed look. I decided not to put a sentiment inside yet, as I think would work for several "Mom" occasions.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a crafty week!

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Mojo Monday #292 (MOJO 292)
Flourishes Timeless Tuesday #219 (Black Accents--I used black & white twine, black matting, and a black flag)
Color Throwdown #241 (CTD241)
