May challenge for the Crafters of Faith!!!

Hello everyone!!!. Another month went by flying and the Crafters of Faith had another challenge to share. This month our hostess is Patti.. When Patti's kids were little they made May flower baskets, they would hang them on a couple of the elderly neighbour's doors, and they would know and run. So Patti decided to challenges us with flowers in baskets. They could be stamped or 3D or whatever we wanted to do, so here is what I came up with. It has been years since this stamp doesn't see ink and I wanted to use it this time, also because I don't have any other stamps with a basket of flowers...

For this card I used:

Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, River Rock and Whisper White from SU
Designer Paper: Simple Stories "Generations"
Stamps: Favorite Teddy Bear and Warmest Regards from SU
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Copic Markers, Oval Stax die and First Prize Ribbon die from MFT and my sewing machine.

Thanks for looking!!!

Crafty Gals May Challenge

Hello everyone!!!. Another month with the Crafty Gals!!!. This month our hostess Tracie challenged us with this title "Celebrate those who love us", making a card with at least three layers, two embellishments and one sentiment.
The moment I read the challenge I thought of two persons: Jesus and my mom. There is no other love that can compare with the love of Jesus for us and the love of a mother. For that reason  I made a Christmas card, I think it fits perfect in this month's challenge. Here is my card:
