Motherly Love
I didn't even understand motherly love or motherhood until I had my 1st daughter. It was then I started having flashbacks! Flashbacks of my mother saying...."You'll understand one day when you're a parent. I hope you have a daughter just like you!" Etc etc..
Motherhood is a verb, not a noun!!!
Yep! And now I do understand everything my mother was talking about and why she made certain decisions. And payback is fierce! I was a bad teenager and I got paid back in full and then some.
I wanted to showcase this retro, tired but beautiful mama by embossing her in black. Alcohol markers were an easy way to add a pop of color to her apron. Can't you just imagine her shaking a wooden spoon?
A pink polkadotted gray piece of scrap paper and a pink doily, I found on clearance at Michaels for 30 cents for the pack, bring the card together.
Washi! Y'all know I love washi so I had to add some! The black washi is from Stampin Up and the pink and green is some random brand from Michael's. Dug thru my stash and found some green sequence to match the green washi!
Ok...so...here is my favorite part of the card! The "for real" stitching! First time sewing on paper! I love how it turned out. Now the question is....do I leave my machine out or put it away?
I just love this Retro Unity Stamp!!!
Don't you?
Now for the really good part! The April winner by random draw for the grab bag of stamps is...
