Karen's Doodles US Challenge - DT

Good morning!  Today I am going to start the week off on a positive note by encouraging everyone to play along with the first ever Karen's Doodles US Challenge.  This first challenge is a sketch challenge:


I decided to create two Mother's Day cards with this sketch.  For my mother I chose the Pretty Unicorn image from Karen's Doodles:


This image comes with several individual flowers which can also be printed to embellish your card.  I chose to play with one of my newer purchases from Wild Orchids and to embellish the corner with Basic Grey bling rhinestones.


On the inside I typed a message for my Mom:



The second card is for my darling hubby's mother who loves the colour red.  I've chosen Karen's Just for You image for my mother-in-law:



My mother-in-law likes things plain and simple, so that is what I've done on the inside.  No sentiment and lots of room for my hubby to write a note to his mom: 


Please check out the amazing creations by the rest of the design team at Karen's Doodles United States Challenge Blog here.

Pretty Unicorn will be entered into the challenges at Simon Says Challenge (mother's day/girl), Creative Card Crew (celebrations), Charisma Cardz (fairies - paper), and Basic Grey (photo inspiration).

Thank you for looking!
