Finally a card

I haven't done any crafting this week thanks to an incident with the cat and the stairs, which involved a fair bit of pain on my part ... the cat is fine ... if a little contrite! I finally got back into my craft room last night and aftersome hufffing and puffing and a lot of ouching I made a card to cover a few challenges:
Papertake Weekly Challenge - buttons, bows, brads and bling
Creative Card Crew - Celebrations
Simon Says Stamp - Mothers Day/girly
Cute Card Thursday - Lucky Green
Creative Inspirations - Lace, pearls and pins (no pins as I little fingers who like to help themselves to my stash ... so pins not safe)
Stampavie and More - Spring
Totally Papercrafts - Mother's Day/Special lady
Stamp Something - Something girly
Stampin'for the weekend - Monochromatic (I think its pretty monochromatic!!)

I have made this card for my Mum ... not her Mothering Sunday card ... but her birthday card as her birthday is in early April.
I used my pens to colour Tilda and then matted her onto green and cream cardstock. I decided to go with just 1 dp and keep the layout simple. I threaded the ribbon through the raffia lace and added a bow with a button at the centre. I added some pearls and gems (not a lot of bling, but a bit!!) and a couple brads to the image for detail .. .and thats pretty much it.

We have friends' coming for the weekend and then I am working full time all next week so very little crafting time on the horizon :(, and little time for blogging ... I have been a terrible blogger this week ... but hopefully will catch up with you all soon.
