Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #625

Hello!

Happy Wednesday!  Here we are back at another Wednesday!  How is that even possible!  I hope you're having a good week!  I had my steroid shot this morning and I'm praying for some significant relief in my pain!  Some of you know but I have been diagnosed with moderate arthritis in my left thumb (I also have it in my right thumb) but I'm left handed so most tasks have become very difficult.  I have been waiting for this shot for months so I'm excited that today is the day!  Tonight is also a big ladies paint night at our church.  It's my first event as Women's Ministry Coordinator so I'm a little nervous! We have 100 ladies coming to paint!  I will be heading from my shot to the church for set up!  As excited as I am, I'm looking forward to it all being over.

So I have the privilege of being this week's hostess at Freshly Made Sketches!  I am not great at coming up with sketches but I sure love to see what you all create with my sketch!  

I had just received these SU dies.  I saw them in the catalogue and one of my new friends is a demonstrator so I decided I would get them from her!  I love a good flower die!  These ones are user friendly and fun to play with!  I cut the flowers out of white and then used my Distress Oxides to colour them!  I wasn't going to make this a Mother's Day card but it looked pretty Mother's Day like to me so that's what it became!

I need a thank you card for the lady that is leading/teaching our paint night tonight.  She really likes purple so I made one especially for her!  I've added Wink of Stella to the centres of all of the flowers just to add a bit of sparkle!
