Another Swissy Mama's Day Card

This is the last Mama's Day card that I made - this one for my mother-in-law. Unfortunately, she got it the day after mother's day as apparently it was quite bulky and required personal post office handling...and an additional $0.78 in postage. Doh! Oh, well. I guess I'm going to have to either (1) give up bulky embellies (noooooo!!!) or (2) create a year's worth of cards for all the holidays and just give them to her next time we go visit and have her open them on the appointed days. hehehe...


So this image is C.C. Designs Birgitta Sitting on a Tree Stump, or something like that. Jamie picked it up for me the last time she went home (thanks, Jammy!). I hadn't realized that the image was so...huge. Originally, I tried to use this image for a few different sketches but finally just had to give up and decorate it simply. I tied a ribbon bow the Dawn McVey-way and wrapped a button around the center of the bow, which made the card exceptionally bulky.


So you can't tell from this angle, but I cut out the 2 mushrooms in the front and popped them up with foam tape.




Here's a close-up with one of the mushrooms.
