It was last year when I won a GC to a fantastic stamp company Paper Smooches, for this card. It was just before my birthday and I came to know that the owner Kim and I shared birthdays and she gave a 49% off on her birthday (and mine). So I splurged and bought amazing PS goodies. Sadly, after a month she also announced that she will be closing the shop. Luckily I bought the stuff and then Corona happened and finally my goodies reached me in March this year. I love all her stuff! and can't wait to use them all.
I was inspired by the floral arrangement in the photo and am using PS's, Best buds stamp set for my card. I used my dear Zigs to color and added mom with pen on the banner.

With Mother's day around the corner, I didn't want to miss an opportunity to get my cards ready!

I too used to love Paper Smooches and have quite a few of their stamps. This is a joy. First off love the base colour card and the frame you used is perfect for your gorgeous floral arrangement. And super wow to the colouring...gets better with every card x
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty card. I was also sad when PS closed down. I have quite a lot of their stamps. I also stopped by to wish you a happy birthday. Hope it was a good one!
