Mum's the word.....

Good afternoon all...it is still very windy here, but this afternoon I have another card it's Team A's first challenge over at Sarah Hurley's Challenge blog.  This week it's Lisa's turn to choose the challenge.... and with Mothers day here in the UK on Sunday 3rd April the challenge is....

MUM'S THE WORD

It doesn't have to be a Mothers day card - but any project for or about Mum. 
So here is my card using 

Sarah's fabby bright flowered paper, 
I love it and I'm sure you will see it again on my blog...

I have used my MS butterfly punch and have raised with 3d pads

Added some ribbon and glitter and a few peal gems

My Mum sentiment is a hand letter punch that I have not used before

Hope you will join in with the challenge this week...... 

and don't forget you still have time to enter our GREEN themed challenge from last week!
