When I saw the latest Naughty or Nice challenge #37, asking to Feature a Creature, I thought I could pull my Mom + Me stamp set out again. Now's a good time to be working ahead on Mother's Day card and this set fits the bill. I paired it with the Perfectly Plaid Winter papers, and their colours reminded me of an older ColourQ combo, #354, that was on my "catch-up list." The design also came from some "oldies but goodies" challenges - Mojo Monday sketch #383. The tree silhouette and fence were die-cut using the Halloween Scenes Edgelits from the 2016 Holidays catalogue. They were part of an Halloween set, but I bought them knowing they could be used for more.
I used some older embossing folder Needlepoint Borders for the top and bottom of the pale grey cardstock, and some paper scraps for the layered banners. For embellishments, I found some old rub-ons that were the perfect colour so I added three flowers that I topped with black rhinestones.
