You're Fabulous!

Ok, back dating again on this card, but this card was for my mom on Mother's Day. My mom is nothing short of fabulous! So, she deserves a card with some pizzaz. It was no easy to task to make that border pop up so that it could be a shaker card, but she's so worth it! Here are the materials I used:

• Blissful banners stamp set by Paper Smooches
• Streamers die cuts by Paper Smooches
• Beau Jardin paper pack by Penny Black
• memento ink- rose bud
• pink microbeads

Today is a 2-fer. I was crunched for time with the Mother's Day cards so I used a lot of the same stuff for both of our mom's cards. To all the moms, thanks for all you everyday, including the many life lessons taught.
