MIL Mother's Day Gift

Here's what I made for my wonderful Mother-in-Law for Mother's Day, a set of 8 4x4 notecards for every occasion, along with another card of course and a purse to store them all in. She loved it!
I chose a "rainbow" using 8 of the retiring colours, stamping the outside with Fun and Fast Notes, matting in the same colour, then stamping the inside, same colour again, using the Curvy Verses stamp set. No colouring in required. I then finished off with some sort of matching embellishment, a brad, ribbon, button, etc.

Here's a closeup of the card and purse. I got the idea for the card from Kirsty Brown's blog. This was also my first try at a Scallop Circle Punch Faux Flower, cute eh?
