Mother's Day Card

Mother's Day is fast approaching - 3 April so I have had an idea in my mind of the card I wanted to make for a while now.

I bought a pack of swan shaped cards in Poundland, I wanted them just for the swan shape itself and not to use as cards!!  I decided to do a sidestepper card and covered it in some Kate Knight paper that was free with a magazine recently.  I used a MS loopy punch and made some flowers using a die and an X cut punch.  I've used Sakura pens on most of the edges on this card.  For the swan, I used a couple of feathers and some purple gems to cover the 'stalk' part of the feather.  I also put a flower and some embossed leaves cut with an X Cut punch and I drew the eye on and used a tiny purple gem. 

The sentiment was a freebie downloaded from the net which I changed to purple ink and mounted it on a mat which I cut using nesties.



I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges.

Dream Valley - Mother's Day
Pile It On - Pearls and Rhinestones and Bling
Sparkles Forum - Mother's Day
A Gem of a Challenge - Anything but Square
Craft Your Days Away - For Mum or Special Lady
