I decided to test my "realistic" coloring skills with this card. Many years ago now my BFF and I owned a wholesale flower business - yes we did! For 10 years we sold to florists and made arrangements for several grocery chains. She was definitely the creative force while I lurked in the background - buying, keeping the books, etc. Anyway, one of my favorite flowers for special occasions is the Stargazer Lily and I attempted to duplicate their fabulous look on this card.
I used my Cricut and cut the lilies from the Easter cartridge in plain heavy white card then colored them with Prismas and OMS. Mom is cut from the Mother's Day cartridge. I added some simple punched butterflies (MS and EK Success) and self-adhesive gold gems. The backing paper is K&Company. I think she'll like it [almost] as much as the real thing! I hope everyone has a great weekend and I'd love it if you have time to say "hi".
Oh Kris! this is GORGEOUS!!! Beautiful design and coloring! What a wonderful Mother's Day card! I love it!

This is just EXQUISITE! Stargazers are one of my fave flowers and I used to go to the Farmer's market every Sat to get a big bouquet. (Now we're growing our own.) You've captured them perfectly and that beautifully scrolly "Mom" cut is gorgeous! She'll be over the moon over this! Have a great weekend yourself! xxD
