Happy Birthday, Mom!

Today is my mother's birthday. In honor of her birthday, I am sharing the card I made for her. Here it is: 

 When I saw the "Best Mom Ever" stamp in the May Simon Says Stamp kit, I knew I wanted to use it to make my own patterned paper. I added the heart and dot stamps to give the pattern a little interest. It's hard to tell from this picture but, I used clear embossing powder so in real life there is a nice shine. The flower and leaves were fussy cut and the center part of the flower is popped on a foam dimensional.  Here's a closer look.
This is just one of the ten cards I made this weekend and just one of the 20 cards I need to make by the end of the month.  I'll be back with another card later this week.

Supplies:
Cardstock, Patterned Paper: Simon Says Stamp June 2013 Card Kit;
Stamps: Simon Says Stamp (Best Mom Ever); Papertrey Ink (Boutique Borders BirthdayHappiness in Bloom;
Inks: Papertrey Ink (Melon Berry); Color Box (Chocolate); Stampin' Up (Gumball Green; Old Olive):
VersaMark; Stampin' Up pen(Chocolate Chip);
Tools: Martha Stewart border punch

This is so pretty! You're really making good use of those kits. Ten cards! If I made ten cards in a day I wouldn't clean up between them or I'd never get done. I hope your Mom had a lovely birthday!
