I'd like to welcome you to the Sparkle N Sprinkle non-traditional Mother's Day Blog Hop, which began at the SparkleNSprinkle Home Blog.
Hopefully you have been enjoying the beautiful cards presented by my fellow Sparkle Team designers Jill, Joan and Anne. Our Mother's Day inspired hop is non-traditional because we're displaying cards which honor special women in our lives, whether they are Moms or not. We hope you will enjoy these feminine cards, and perhaps create something special for the dear women who regularly and meaningfully touch your life. Today, my card is made with Wilma in mind. Wilma is mother to a great friend of mine and she is the closest to being my mom. I lost my mom many years ago and still miss her every day. But Wilma has been a great substitute mom.
Great news!!! Set 265, which is the set I used, is in re-release and available right now at a discount. Clicking here will take you to the SparkleNSprinkle page for this stamp set.

Love the lacey window frame!
I like what you did with the background die, doubling it and of course covering it with glitter!!
Beautiful card! I love the colors and the way the yellow lacy look makes the flower vases pop.
The card is fabulous and I love the contrast of the brightly glittered die cut with the soft coloring of the flowers & vase. Beautiful!
Beautiful card. Love the lace background.
I like the way you connected the corners to make the frame. Great idea!
I love the colors and lace. So sweet.
Love the lacey frame around the simple flower vases. Thanks for sharing.
Barbara, love that lacey frame. Its perfect for the card. I too lost my mom many years ago and have many dear friends who have counseled me over the years. Here's to all the women in our lives.

Barbara, what a beautiful card. I do love the new stamp set. Vases are just so feminine. Thanks for all the inspiration.
Very sparkly and beautiful :-)
The flowers in the vase stamp is wonderfully effective against the bright yellow lacy background. Great card.
Oh, my, Barbara...that is so beautiful! I love the flowers in the vase image and also how you used the doily design for a backdrop. Any woman would be overjoyed to get this lovely card. I, too, only have memories of my precious mother, but I do still make cards for my daughter and daughter in law who are mothers to my grandsons.
What a delightful spring card I love the gold "netting"
Jann
That is a perfect card for a non-biological mom. I know many of us have at least one! I also think the name card is beautiful!
Barbara, The image you chose is one of my favorites. The doily is so perfect and you nmade great color choices! Isn't it wonderful to have someone as a Mom when our own moms have gone on? TFS
I especially like how you made the corner swirls into a frame so they look just like a lace doily. I can't wait to get the reissued flower vase set.
Very unusual card. I do like the vase and flower stamps.
Jan
THe gold netting look enhances the card to the enth degree!@
Gorgeous card Barbara! Love how you linked the corner dies together -- that's really thinking. Way to go!
Love the background die cut.
So very pretty, especially when you click on it and enlarge it so you can see all the detail.
Lovely card. I like the lacey yellow background.
Absolutely love the buttercup yellow and how you used the swirly corners! Clever!!
The lace adds the perfect touch.
Thats so pretty! Love the image and the lace! It's a great tribute for your special friend!
Beautiful....I need to make more cards and try and catch up to your talents. I love the groups name...Sparkle and Sprinkle....makes me want to live my life like that....wouldn't that be neat?
P&L and TY!
I love the feminine touch to your card with the look of lace Barbara. You did a fantastic job with the colors you used.
The card is beatiful and your color choices are striking

Lovely card the lace is such a nice touch
What a gorgeous card. I love the lacy cutout accent. So nice that you found a second "mom" which is how I view my lovely and loving mother-in-law. I'm a lucky woman.
Nice card
Barbara, I so love the glimmery papers that you used with the glitters. Really striking card. Thanks for the inspiration today

A stunning card! Every part of it is beautiful and you put the parts together so well. I will have to try using four corner die cuts to make a frame like you did. What a clever idea!
Frann
Simply a beautiful card. Love everything about it. Very elegant.
Such a great combination of modern and vintage! Thanks for the inspiration.
This vase set is lovely and I think you did a great job of placing the swirly corners so it looks like an antique frame.

Very pretty card! I love lavender and bright yellow together.
I love the vase and flowers image and your coloring is so pretty. It look great accented by that lovely frame.
Your card opens the heart. The colors brighten the area and remind us all that beautiful can be simple and striking. You have accomplished. Thank you for taking the time to share your creation.
