Patchwork Owl With Love

Hello! Here's a card I made for my Mum. It's a bit of a sorry card and to tell her how much I apreciate all she does. We are going through a bit of stress at the moment to do with my illness and I've been a bit snappy and rude. So I decided to make her a card using her favourite colours and animal, and got my brother to get me a box of Lindt Chocolates (her favourite) to go with it The cute stamp was a mag freebie Coloured with Promarkers Dovecraft Back to Basics Christmas Papers Brown Seam Binding and twine - Ribbon Girl Made With Love Charm - Hobbycraft WOC Flowers Woodware butterfly punch The ribbon is a bit wonky lol but I work in a dark room with fuzzy vision so you must forgive me  :-P I gave it to her earlier and she came in tearful and we both cried and I just about managed a small hug with her! :'-) Lucy x Challenges: Bunny Zoes - Animals Butterfly Challenge - Butterfly + 3 Design Papers Cute Card
