I don’t know about you, but what I always hope for on Mother’s Day is a day off & something handmade from the kiddos! This card is the perfect gift for any Mama out there: Grandmas, Aunties, Great-Grandmas. WHY? Because it incorporates ARTwork from the kiddos & a PHOTO! All moms like photos of their littles

Hello & Welcome to the Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft and Taylored Expressions Blog Hop!

You should be visiting from Amy’s Blog, but if you’re just now hearing about the hop, you’ll definitely want to start at the beginning for a chance at some awesome prizes!!!

Here’s my card featuring the Faber-Castell® Design Memory Craft® PITT Pastel Pencils & the Taylored Expressions In Flight Cutting Plate and Shade Tree Sentiments:

I die-cut vellum and colored in a rainbow gradient with the PITT Pastel Pencils. I added some brads and the sentiment panel with some washi for dimension!
