Crafty Creations Challenges #168 - Mother's Day!

I'm  a new player with Crafty Creations Challenges, but I've jumped right in with both feet - whoever sets the challenges must be reading my crafty mind for what I feel like making :) This time around, #168, is to share Mother's Day gifts, cards, or other projects. Link up your projects before Tuesday! I have two to share.

Supplies: papers from Basic Grey "Indie Bloom" and "Little Black Dress;"
Barn Door distress ink; Gina K sentiment;
flowers & bee quilled by me
Sakura Stardust pen

I dabbed the glitter pen on my finger, and then swiped it onto the wings 

Supplies: papers from Basic Grey "Plumeria;"
Tumbled Glass distress ink;
Marvy vase punch;
Ranger crackle glaze;
flowers quilled by me

The crackle glaze is a new 'toy' for me - I put it on after adhering the vase to my project, which means that it does curl a little bit at the edges. I still love it, though. This second card is sort of a self-CASE of this card, which not only did *I* love, but so did Papercraft Inspirations magazine! Lookie here & see. I'm so beyond excited - I can't wait to be able to see it in print, in person. UK subscribers have it already but it's not available in Canada until the end of June. (I'm still flapping with excitement!) And yes, I've kept the card. It's my first publication, and it'll be going into a shadow box with the magazine :)
