Today I'm playing along with the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge. The sketch this week is by Renee Lynch. I'm working on my Easter cards so I thought this would be a good chance to get another one done! I made this one for my mom - lots of soft pastels and just a touch of bling. I remember her dressing us girls up for Easter Sunday - a new hand sewn dress, hats, shoes, white wicker purses, and even lacy crochet gloves. Mom would get a pretty orchid corsage that we all fought over trying to pick the one we all thought was best suited for her. And every year she would tell us it was just the one she wanted. Ah .. the good old days!! I bet you've got some great Easter memories of your own.
