Double Post ~ Sunday Stamps & CAS(E) This Sketch

Let me start out by saying a very Happy Mother's Day to all you lovely mamas out there!!! This is my 1st Mother's Day as a mother of 2 and I feel blessed beyond words :)

Next up a new challenge that I came upon, CAS(E) This Sketch! From the looks of things I believe I will enjoy playing along with these fabulous ladies, such wonderful inspiration from the design team!!!

I made this little set for my best friend for Mother's Day. The basket I saw gifted to another stamping friend of mine and just HAD to try one out so I took a good long look at her photo and came up with a tutorial for how to make one (I will be posting this a little later in the week!). I included 6 of my favourite Steeped Teas for us to share together over a conversation one day soon. And on the inside of the card a "gift certificate" for lunch with me at our favourite Vietnamese Restaurant :) 

The card I made to go with this gift basket is using the sketch from CTS ~ love the clean, simple feel of this sketch! I had to move the sentiment down, I just could not make it work over the flower :)
