Happy Birthday, Mom

My parents birthdays are 1 week apart and their anniversary is 10 days after my mother's birthday.  And of course there is always Easter thrown in there somewhere.  This year since Easter falls in between my parents birthdays, we will be celebrating on Easter.  Kind of killing three birds with one stone.

I cased a card Nichole showcased in the countdown to March's release except I reversed the colors.  I made the large shaker box to house some goodies and gift card for mom and tied it with some white satin ribbon. 

For the card I decided to make my own embossed paper by using my Scor Pal and scored the lines at an angle.  I added some Martha Stewart's crystal fine glitter to the Hawaiian Shores flower.  The technique for the leaves was done by folding a small piece of scrap spring moss cardstock in half and running it through my crimper at an angle, while still folded I cut half of a leaf on the fold, after cutting unfold and viola instant leaf.  The sentiment is from Damask Designs and I also used the medium scallop die. 

Thanks for stopping in!

Hugs
