A Mother's Hand

Hello and welcome.  Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there whether their children have 2-legs or 4.  Today I'd like to share a card I made for my mom this year.  It uses a LONG retired Stampin Up set called A Mother's Hand.  

I started out by stamping everything in Tim Holtz Aged Mahogany distress ink before stamping the glove/heart again onto scrap paper to color later.  Once I had the parts of my image colored using Castle Arts pencils, I cut them out and popped up using dimensionals. I then layered my images, added silver/pearl heart brads and popped the panel up over my stamped border at an angle.  The final touch was some scrap lace ribbon with aged mahogany stippled over it.  As an afterthought, I stippled some Tim Holtz Tattered Rose distress ink over the image panel to help "soften" it a bit.  The saying reads: "A mother holds her children's hands for but a moment, their hearts forever."
