I couldn’t help but think of a certain blog post on Hyperbole and a Half while I was making this card. If you’ve never seen Hyperbole and a Half, go check it out after you’re done reading this post.

Today’s card uses this week’s Lizzie Anne Designs sketch challenge layout.   The flower images above the designer paper panel were stamped and colored with markers.  The half pearls match better in real life than they appear in the photo.

You’re probably wondering why I’m showing a Mother’s Day card at the beginning of March, when Mother’s Day isn’t until May here in the United States.  It’s because I’m trying to get a start on my next shipment for Operation Write Home.  They need Mother’s Day cards by the end of March so there’s enough time to send them to our heroes overseas so they can send the cards to their loved ones here at home.

Speaking of Operation Write Home… you’ll want to be sure to tune in tomorrow, because OWH is hosting a HUGE Bunny Blog Hop tomorrow!  Over 130 blogs are participating!  WOW!
