Believe it or not, I wanted to keep this project simple...! But it's for Mom, and I always like to pull out all the stops for her. Plus, so gave me these gorgeous Graphic 45 papers!
The washi-ribbon-twine section on the bottom was inspired by a card I saw at A Consuming Passion.
It's a big card, at 6x6. I even decorated the inside:
Inspired by the Matching Card & Envelope challenge at Art Impressions, I used some of the same DP and elements to decorate a 6x6 petal envelope:
The stamps (sentiment & vine) are from a Country Companions/DoCrafts set.
