I continue to make cards to send to my mother. Recently I purchased a stamp that said "April showers bring May flowers", thinking I might make a card using some tatted flowers. I still plan to do that but almost immediately afterwards I saw a card and directions for using pressed flowers over at Eileen's blog.
I then dug out a stash of old pressed flowers from a few years back and made this. Very plain and simple and fast. I rarely manage that combination. But it was great as I am still sorting paperwork and files so do not have much time to be creative. Which explains why my inspiration was so much more detailed than what I whipped out. Besides, she had small flowers for her 'window' and all of mine were large ones.
However, I really think this needs to wait for April to be sent so that leaves me needing another card to get made and in the mail toot sweet! Never fear, I have a couple of others I want to try and ran up to Michael's for a new punch set yesterday so I will get right on those.

This is a beautiful card. You make the best cards and I know your Mom enjoys each and every one, I know I enjoy the ones you send to me. Each unique and special in their own way. Another one of many things you do with extreme perfection and beauty. Perfect for now or later.
The neat thing about using the pressed flowers is that each card is unique. I hope it will hold up in the mail.
