Another Flower Fancy Mother's Day

This is the fourth in my set of Mother's Day cards...it was very easy and fun to make! It's hard to tell from the picture, but it also uses vellum like two of the other ones in the set. I am still working on cards for my May 15th technique class as well as a project for my mom for Mother's Day, so I will have pictures of those projects soon!
