Happy birthday, Mum

It is my Mum's birthday today (happy birthday, Mum!), and my Dad bought her a beautiful little Moorcroft bud vase.  The pattern is called "Fly Away Home" (you can see the pattern HERE), so I decided to make a card that looks like the vase pattern for Dad to give to Mum.  Of course, there are no stamps of the same pattern so I had to draw the pattern myself and then watercolour it using Distress Markers and a water brush. I then went over the edges with a white gel pen.  Quite happy with the result :)




 Thanks for visiting :)

UPDATE: Here's a photo of the card with the vase:
