For the card I used an older stamp called Perfect Peonies, watercoloured with Distress inks. I used the colours from the challenge below (green, pink, raspberry). The matching die was used to cut out the image before popping it up over top of a beautiful frame called Candlewick Ovals (Spellbinders) that I saw a while ago used by Michele (I Card Everyone) - fourth card in this post. I am finally getting to use this new-to-me die-cut. Thanks Michele ... you always find the most beautiful stamps and dies for card making! :)

How beautifully these flowers sit in their Candlewick oval! Cheerful colors, perfectly CAS but with great style. You were born with the CAS gene, Loll! You are fortunate to still be enjoying your mother. My mom had me late in life (38) so she's been gone for many years.
Love the oval die cut too Loll, your flowers look fab against it. :)
A perfect combination of past and present stash! I love that bold watercoloured bloom - but popped up on that frame - well, it's magic. Thanks for sharing with us at The Paper Players.
This is a beautiful card- It’s very elegant!
Loll, your cards for Mom are always beautiful. I love the gorgeous peonies, the color you used for the coloring is perfect for the peonies. And I totally agree with you that the frame is one of the most beautiful I've seen.
hugs,

Loll, I am reminded today how beautiful that oval is - thanks for that and the shoutout, too! I adore your pink flowers and know your mama will, too - give her an extra hug from me, please? It has been 29 years since I've had mine to pamper.

Beautiful flowers, beautiful frame! I could stare at your water coloring ALL day!
That is a beautiful frame (let the enabling continue!) and I love how suitable it is for your sensational bouquet, Lolly! Your mom will love how pretty and bright it is! Thank you for linking again to the NBUS and I.D.E.A.S. galleries! Love, Dolly
Gorgeous card, Loll! I love the rich vibrancy of the flowers, and I really love that new oval die - what a perfect setting for the flowers!
What a pretty Mother's Day card for your Mom, Lolly! I'm sure she will love these bright and pretty blooms! Love the oval die that gives them an even more feminine look! Michele is quite the enabler isn't she?
Beautiful watercoloured flowers Loll and that is a gorgeous oval frame that they are sitting on and a perfect card for your Mom on Mother's Day. x
You colored those flowers beautifully and they look great popped up on that lovely die cut. A gorgeous card for your mom.
What a lovely card for your mom, Loll! Peonies are one of the most beautiful flowers and your coloring of them is superb. The oval frame is the perfect setting for these beauties.
