Raise the Bar - Guest Bar - Tender

   I was picked   one of the top three  at a recent 'Raise the Bar' challenge  for my 'Sounds of Spring'  card and won a guest  slot  for one of their upcoming challenges, which happens to be the one that starts  today!!. The theme is Mother's Day  (2nd Sunday in May) in honour of all  the Mother's out there.  As my dear Mom has been gone for some time now (oh how I still miss her) I try to make my Mother's Day cards  to represent mothers  past and present,young and old, depending upon my mood. This card  represent a young ,stylish one.   I urge you to go take a visit and join the fun and maybe even win a guest slot...

I used an image from Little Miss Muffet called 'Emily Rose Hatter' and she is a darling. I coloured her with Prismacolor Markers, framed her with two Spellbinders Nestabilities oval die cuts and created a sentiment  from Doodle Pantry's Fancy Shoe' digital stamp set. The embellishments are rose flowers from  Recollections  and the flourish is a Marianne Designs  die cut.  I used paper from  DCWV 'The Four Seasons Stack'. and added a few pearls.
