Mothers' Day is coming up.

I guess I had better work out a couple of cards for the boys at work who will forget, and hope I can save them at the last minute.

This is a bunch of flowers I made for my Mum last year when she was in hospital and wasn't allowed to have real flowers. She isnt with us now, but these sit on my desk and still look just as bright and cheerful.

The vase was a baby food jar covered in patterned tissue paper. The flowers are cut on the Cricut using Accent Essentials cart, then stuck either side of the stalks using foampads. You could use gardening wire or something like that for the stalk, I was lucky I found an old green cane decoration in the pound shop that I chopped up. The centres of the flowers are metallic stickers from Paperchase.
