Mum, with a bit of "Flair"!

I made this card for Mum for Mother's Day.  I used a new die I bought at Paperific last weekend and an alphabet die-set I bought a couple of years ago and have only used once!  I used the latest Wednesday Sketch from My Favourite Things for inspiration. MFTWSC123

I used some scraps of green patterned paper and some red and white cardstock on the pre-made cards and envelopes.  I used more scraps for cutting out the letters for "Mum".  To make it easier to stick them down as they're so thin, I stuck some double sided Jac Paper to the green card before I put it through the big shot, then it was simply peel and stick! For the flowers and Flair I used hot glue.

And for the inside of the card...
