happy mother's day!!

this is my mothers day card, i used a magnolia stamp coloured using promarkers. i cut the mat using a spellbinders shape die on my big shot machine. the background is using tim holtz distress ink pads and lili of the valley stamps . i also used a lili of the valley stamp to do the message which i coloured using promarkers in co-ordinating colours. i finished with a ribbon at the top tied in a bow.

 i made these chocolate box cakes for my nana's. they are a chocolate cake with chocolate fudge frosting, topped with a selection of chocolates (i choose thornton's classic) .i then decorated the sides with chocolate fingers but you could use anything similar in shape. i choose a nice ribbon and tied a big bow and your finished, (you could do a bow and ribow with icing to make it all edible!!)

for this cake i used orange kitkat instead of chocolate fingers.

 

since it is mother's day i would like to share this card that my mum has made for her mum.

she used toppers and papers from hunkydory crafts and a silver border peel off which has a butterfly design. another fab effort, we mght just make a crafter out of her yet!!
