For this challenge, I used the retro babe Trixie Deville!

How AMAZING is she?? Loved coloring her!

I hoped to make her sassy yet feminine. My mom has red hair and she actually has a picture of her wearing cat glasses just like this. So I thought I'd make this a Mother's Day card and I just know she'll love her!

I colored her with SN Markers. CS is from Recollections and Bazzil. EF's are all from 
Cuttlebug. Flowers and Ribbon are 
from my stash.

With mother's day coming I went with making my mom a Bookmark- this image actually reminds me of her gardening with her floppy hat except she has dogs and Pink Rain Boots. lol. She also loves sitting outside reading so I combined 2 of her hobbies into this little creation.


The CS and Ribbon are from American Crafts and DP's are DCWV. The sentiment is embossed on the back, but it hard to see in this picture. :(
It's a Great Impressions Sentiment about having a flower for every time she's made me laugh and smile, I'd have a garden to walk in forever. Awwww! lol!
