Happy Birthday, Mom!

Hey guys!  Today is my Mom's birthday and needed to make her an extra special card.  Since my Mom reads my blog (Hi Mom!), I couldn't just grab a card out of my stash.  I wanted to make a card that was fun, but also one that took a lot of time and techniques.  I know this card looks simple, but the paper piecing was pretty time consuming.  I stamped the cupcake image on four types of paper (green, pink and white card stock and blue patterned paper).  I distressed some of the edges and sponged the edge of the white cupcake panel with light pink ink.  My Mom loves when I use buttons on my cards, so picking the cupcake image was a no-brainer for me.  I finished the card off with a big satin bow.

Of course my Mom loved it when I gave it to her earlier today.  She's been home from the hospital since Friday and is quickly adjusting back to normal life.  Mom, hope you are enjoying your special day!!!
