Mother's Day = Hydrangea

In our house when I was growing up, my grandmother always brought my mother a beautiful purple or pink hydrangea every Mother's Day . For that reason the two have forever been inseparable in my mind. I therefore have created this card for my mother  for Mother's Day in memory of my beloved grandmother.

Stamps: Multi Step Hydrangea, Multi Step Lilacs (flower stem), Whole Family (sentiment), Friends of the Moon (texture on amethyst cardfront) all by Kitchen Sink Stamps
Papers: Pure Luxury White by Gina K Designs, Almost Amethyst and Elegant Eggplant by Stampin' Up
Inks: Blossom - Layer 4-Memento Grape Jelly, Layer 3-Memento Lulu Lavender, Layer 2-Memento Sweet Plum stamped off once, Layer 1-SU Almost Amethyst; Leaves and Stem - Layer 1-Memento Bamboo Leaves, Layer 2-Memento Cottage Ivy stamped off once, Layer 3-Memento Cottage Ivy; Sentiment - Memento Grape Jelly on top of Versamark for embossing
Tools: Nestabilities Label 4, Sponge, Bow Easy
Embellishment: Organdy Ribbon, Rhinestones, Clear Embossing Powder

Remember to drop in on the rest of the Kitchen Sink Crew to see what they have created for you on this Kitchen Sink Monday!
