For Mom



Mother's Day is next Sunday here in Sweden and I think this would be a wonderful card for (a romantic) my Mother! I used Wee Stamps and colored with copics so I'm entering this for the challenges at Copic Marker Sweden and Europe and for Wee Stamp's spring challenge.
I also think it fits the tone on tone challenge at A blog Named Hero.

Wishing you a wonderful week!
