Stampsmith Challenge - Celebrating Mothers

Happy May Day!
I remember when I was a child living in Lincoln Nebraska, we celebrated May Day. We would fill small baskets with candy, put them on the porch of a friend and ring the door bell. And, then run. Well, I thought it was fun. But, we don't celebrate May Day in Michigan. Enough of the reminiscences-----On with the Challenge!!!

Since today is May 1, that means it is time for another Stampsmith Challenge!

The theme is: Celebrating Mothers.

So pull out your stamps and get busy. As it is the 1st of the month, any stamp manufacture may be used. There will also be a drawing for a $10 gift certificate to the Stampsmith Shop. Julie choose the theme and she wants to see cards with children, beautiful women, or even flowers. Here is my Design Team project:

I used the Little Angel (Large) stamp. My thinking was: Aren't all mothers angles? The Sentiment is from the Paris Full Sheet. I stamped the angel on Glossy White CS with Vintage Sepia ink (VersaFine). I cut out the image and a second layer of DP (K & Company) with a Spellbinders die. The card base is Close to Cocoa (Stampin' Up) and is layered with more DP (K & Co).

I added a great big bow (Offray) and some gold glitter glue (Ranger) for a little bling. The sentiment is stamped in black ink.
