MIL card

This card was made for my MIL as unfortunately my mum is no longer with us.  This was last years card that I made for her which she absolutely loved and the care home staff where she now resides were very complimentary about it too so it makes it all worthwhile.

 
a close up of the bottom right hand corner
 


The background paper and flowers and foliage are made from paper from a Craftwork cards paper pad. 
the embossed panel is SB m-bossabilities - elegance with pearls added
the sentiment was stamped onto SB Ribbon Banners
the Mum stamp is from Papermania relatives stamp set
and the Birthday Wishes is an old Stampendous stamp that I have had for yonks!

Thanks to Patricia and Marie-Louise for your kind words and encouragement it is much appreciated

I hope you like todays offering  xx Gail xx

    Sorry me again, I could not find how to take the "Comment Verification" thingy off.. I am really hopeless on the computer. How my Blog Post manage to get there amazes me each and every time.
    Hopefully someone else might be able to tell you.
    You also need to get your "Follower" Box up so that we can start following you.
    Hugs

      No probs Patricia - I really need to experiment with different things on the site but until I feel a bit more confident I will leave well alone - I'm not sure if I 'undo' something I will be able to reinstate it!!

      Thanks for the positive comments - on looking closer I could have put a few more pearls on but MIL loved it - her eyesight is not so good these days so I wanted something that she could feel and something bright so she could make it out and the most important thing is she loved it xx

      Hi Carole - I have done what you advised and ticked the no to verification - does this mean that people do not need an account eg Google to log in and leave a comment - sorry if I sound a bit stupid!! xx

    Gail this is a beautiful card. I love the colours and the flowers. If you have ticked the no verification box it just means that people do not have to fill in the funny little box in order to leave a comment but they still need to have a google account. Also it is very kind of you to leave replies to comments but if you do this most people will never see them as usually nobody goes back to the comments once they have left one. I hope you don't mind my pointing this out but you seem to have spent some time leaving replies. It's easier if you just leave a nice comment on the persons own blog. If you are looking for the followers button - go into layout and click on add a gadget this will open up a box with lots of gadgets if you click through them you will find the followers by blogger gadget. By the way Happy Birthday.
