Randi is challenging us to make a card or project for our Mom or one who is like a Mom to us. My Mom is in heaven, but I do have someone special in mind for this... I hope she will like it. Instead of making a "Mother's Day" card, I made a wall hanging that honors Moms. I used Our Daily Bread designs "Mom" set. I really went green on this project too. The wood base for my wall hanging is a left over piece of kick plate from our kitchen cabinets. The panel that I stamped on came from the packaging for some Prima Flowers I bought at Michael's. I loved the color combo on it and felt it would make a great book mark... but it turned into a wall hanging! LOL!
So I covered my wood base with Bazzill Chocolate textured card stock, then layered on a lighter shade that I had lightly stamped with the floral image from the Mom set with Adirondack Latte ink. I mounted the Prima packaging piece onto a piece of teal cs from my stash, and hand cut the corners to match the Prima piece. I added an assortment of Primas, and pearls from ZVA Creative. The lace is from my Christmas Tree decorations from years ago when I used to add lace bows to many branches. Now I have lots of it for other things! I added some sheer May Arts ribbon and done. I had fun with this... I really enjoy altering things! I especially love it when I find ways to re-use things! I hope you enjoyed this little project!

Goodness, Grace, this is gorgeous! I love that scripture! I confess I've never heard it before. I'm writing it down! Why do I never think of myself as a mother when I read these things? I only think of my own mother.
