I used the retired (and for sale below!) Best Blossoms set, because I've used these leaves this way before. I have a Mellow Moss card base, so I used Mellow Moss and Always Artichoke ink for the leaves. For the flower image I stamped on Whisper White card stock and layered that on Apricot Appeal card stock. The flowers are stamped with the Rock & Roll technique, with Apricot Appeal and More Mustard ink. Then I used my also retired All Year Cheer II set for the Mother's Day words. I only inked up the word Mother, with Mellow Moss ink. Then I cut around this piece from my Hodgepodge Hardware set to frame the word. I tied White Grosgrain ribbon around the main image, and knotted it around the Hardware piece! I am really happy with how it turned out!
** As a note, Stampin' Up! just announced that the Hodgepodge Hardware finishes currently in the main catalog are retiring this summer with the new catalog. Now, I don't know...but that sounds to me as tho they'll have other, new finishes to "replace" these. **
Tanya, your card looks amazing! I love it!
