Yes they want to see your Mothers Day cards but have a little twist for you, NO FLOWERS!

I decided that Mothers Day cards don't have to super girlie, especially if they are coming from a son, and so went in that direction with my design and I really like how it turned out.
This little is so sweet with his Teddy Bear that I'm sure any Mommy would love to receive a card this like.
Now it's over to you!

    your mothers day card without any sort of flowers is just fantastic and has given mothers day cards a new dimension, what a great challenge. I love the main image and the papers go perfectly with the overall card.
