Mother's Day Card

Happy Saturday, everyone!

Today I made a card for my mom, and the first thing I did was head over to the Graphics Fairy for some inspiration. The hardest part was picking out just one image!  Karen has so many beautiful images to chose from, so I finally decided on this very sweet baby fairy!  Isn't she cute?!  After printing her out, I cut out the image with my favorite pair of scalloped edge scissors, then glued her to some pretty scrapbooking paper.  I also used "zots", which I am crazy about.  Have you ever tried them?  They really stick!Since I love glitter (you can never have too much glitter, in my opinion!), I used some of my dimensional paper glaze by Alene, to outline the doves, and the fairy's wings and little floral crown.  I then sprinkled some of my Martha Stewart glitter in clear, and the most pretty shade of green onto the dimensional glaze.  I wanted to add a bit of embellishment with a flower brad, but the only ones I had were bright orange and gold.  Definitely not what I had in mind.  So, since I'm a use what you've got kinda girl, I bleached out the flower!  That's right, bleached it out!  I just dabbed a little bit of bleach on the petals, and voila, they turned a pretty soft creamy yellow!  Much better!  Don't worry, it doesn't smell like Chlorox!  I bleached it out a couple of days ago!  The final touch was tying on some pretty green vintage seam binding that I found at an estate sale a few weeks ago.  I love the look of seam binding!  I would have never thought to use it in crafting 'til I saw it all over blogland!  Anyway, I had fun making this card.  It was quick & easy (my kind of project!), and I think Mom will like it too!  

I am linking this project up to the Graphic's Fairy Brag Monday.
