It’s all about Mom today at the Paper Players.
Now, I know that Mother’s Day is next Sunday, but for those of us who need to get a card in the mail pretty soon in order for Dear Mom to receive her card on time, it’s a good thing that Anne Marie Hile made this challenge for us today.
I was inspired by a picture of a beautiful shower curtain I saw in a Garnet Hill catalog recently. I tore out the page and pasted it in my inspiration notebook.
The gray on this card is actually one of the new colors, Smoky Slate. It’s such a pretty gray. It almost looks silver on the white card stock.
I hope you can make time to join us in the challenge at the Paper Players this week. You need a Mother’s Day card anyway, right? Go check out what the other talented designers made:
Enjoy your Sunday! Thanks for stopping by!
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Amazing Family, Hello Doily

This is so pretty! Love how you stamped the Hello Doily and then layered the paper doily on top! Love the pop of Calypso Coral on the sentiment!
Love the stamped doily under the paper doily! So pretty! And… I love that shower curtain!! 🙂
Gorgeous! What a pretty inspiration photo and I love your interpretation of it! Those colors are so trendy together!
Amy, you’re not going to believe this but…I have that SAME catalog page on my desk AND I almost used it for this challenge!! How crazy is that? 🙂 There’s always such great inspiration in Garnet Hill. The shower curtain is gorgeous–love the colors and patterns–and I love your interpretation of it. Smoky Slate does look like silver and I love how you’ve backed the paper doily with the stamped one–genius!
Oh, wow, Nance! That would have been funny if we had such similar cards. I must be doing something right if I am gravitating to some of the things that inspire you, as I always love everything you make.
I love your inspiration picture and the card is perfect! Great colors and I need to use that set more often! You have inspired me to start an inspiration notebook! 🙂
Your card looks just like the inspiration photo, Amy! The doily on a doily looks great, as does the spritzing on the background. Not giving up my spritzer, LOL!
Fabulous card, Amy! That shower curtain is beautiful and I love that you used it for your inspiration. That pop of Calypso Coral really justs adds the perfect touch. 🙂
