House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge #26 - Mothers

The theme this week for the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge is Mothers. Apparently, Mother's Day in the UK is coming up soon. Silly me - it never occurred to me that it would be different in different countries. Even though Mother's Day here in the US isn't until May, I thought I'd go ahead and do the challenge and have my card already done.

I went outside my comfort zone again on this one. It has way more hearts on it than I typically use and I rarely use pastel colors - except for baby cards. I found the DP in a really old DCWV Spring Stack that I had so I went with the pink and yellow to coordinate. The paper says Happy Mother's Day all over it, but of course by the time I got all the other stuff on the card most of it got coverd up. :) The ribbon and heart shaped brad on the lower embellishment are also items I have had forever and never seemed to find a use for. I hit the embossed paper with some ink to highlight the swirls. The sentiment is computer generated.
