In Memory of My Mom

I decided to create a birthday card in memory of my mom. Her birthday was yesterday. It is the first time, I've not been able to wish her a happy birthday.

I have used:

Lisa Horton - Compositions Set C (rectangle (cake base), flower)

Lisa Horton - Compositions Set H (flower)

Lisa Horton - Decorative Pearls (3d embossing folder) used on cake base

Lisa Horton - Nested Tree Frame (used circle frame for cake plate)

Lisa Horton - Gift Card Holder Craft Dies (Happy Birthday sentiment)

Lisa Horton - Peony Vase Layering dies (cut vase for cake plate pedestal)

Lisa Horton - Summer Wreath (flowers, flower centers and foliage)

Lisa Horton - Summer Blooms Craft Dies (flower "burst")

Challenges:

Happy Birthday, Mom..you are so special!

My mom will be 83 this year..her birthday is this month.  She is super special...and i was so excited to give this tutorial a try...It's a card box..it folds in half..it's just awesome.. i hope she will be surprised.

I have used the new My Besties Letter "M" from Sherri Baldy's Etsy store.  It's a digi and perfect for my mom, i think..it could be made for Mother's Day as well!
