Something simple for a change . . .

 The maroon pearl card looks and feels simply luxurious simply embossed, but it's a pain to photograph . . . The butterfly has been cut from the same card, and given a silver edging and a gem centre.

Mother's Day

for my mum . . .

~ Ü ~

The main image is an orchid digital print from the House Across the Bay (yes, mum loves orchids!). The text background is from an old paperstack by Papermania, and the sentiment is a new one by docrafts.

The sentiment is stamped with Perfect Medium and and Perfect Pearl for a bit of shimmer.
