Vintage Mothers Day card using medallion stamp

Well, I finally got round to a mothers day card and managed to tie it in with the SSC141 sketch over at Stamping 411. Sorry I'm late everyone! Here's my card:

There is a hint of vintage about this card which pleased me. The flowers are the inside of the gorgeous medallion background stamp, printed on brocade blue cardstock, cut out and finished with a pearl.

Supplies (all Stampin' Up unless specified):
Stamps: Medallion backgrounds stamp, Occasional Greetings
Ink: Bordering Blue, Night of Navy
Cardstock: Whisper White, Brocade Blue
Other: Corner Rounder, Whisper White taffeta ribbon, Pearls (from elsewhere - because I don't have my Pretties kit yet!)

We have always had a tradition of making cards for one another in our family and each mothers day and birthday I look forward to seeing the amazing creations my children have come up with. They are often innovative - I remember an intricate teapot-shaped card with a teabag inside with a heart tag on it and also a beautiful pocket card that contained a voucher for a special hug. They can be unintentionally funny too - my son once gave me a gorgeous birthday card inside which he'd written: "Even though you're getting old I know that inside you're just a big kid"! I treasure them all.

Thanks for looking!
See you soon
