I made this card the morning of her birthday. I know ... always late getting going, especially these days when I'm not feeling 100%. I found a panel of flowers already stamped and watercoloured. Cut the panel down, added a few score lines and stamped the sentiment. Having the panel already watercoloured made it quick and easy to get her card done.
This is the Unfolding stamp from Penny Black. It's so pretty and I love (what I am going to call peonies), watercoloured in pink. My mom used to love working in her garden which is filled with flowers, including pink peonies. :)
The sentiment (Gratitude - Penny Black) is stamped in black to finish the card.

Happy Birthday to your mom! Sounds like the perfect day for her with the perfect card to boot!
Beautiful card for you mom, Loll. I would not call it late if you found one ready to go. Love the painting on the petals of these peonies. Sounds like your get together is wonderful too especially the no cooking part for anyone.
A beautiful card Loll - and even better to know it was made with what you had 'on hand'. It is so elegant. Sorry to hear you are not 100%.
Stay safe
Blessings

That is awesome that you all got to be with her to celebrate 93! That is amazing and I love the idea of ordering out so no one has to cook. This card is so perfect for her and the watercolor is lovely, as always.
Your Mom must have loved this eye catching bed of flowers you've planted so beautifully on your card. I adore your loose watercoloring and the layout which is simple but interesting. I'm sorry to hear you aren't feeling 100% these days. Seems there's always something. Your get together and dinner sounds wonderful.
A beautiful card for a special lady, Lolly! These peonies are gorgeous and I love the background wash and the score lines!
Happy belated birthday to your mom, Loll! I'm sure she enjoyed the celebration and loved your beautiful peonies card! The shades of pink are so pretty and Pumice Stone for the background is a wonderful choice!

Great make when it's short order -- the flowers are beautiful and look like splendid peonies to me. Congrats to your mom on 93 years!
Hope you are feeling better too, very soon
I always leave making cards for the special people in my life late because I find them so hard, not sure why that is except that I want to make them extra special somehow. This one is beautiful, I really love the colour and the soft background and how very special to be 93. Well done her xx
Such a special card for a special lady .... so glad you all had a lovely day. Belated Birthday wishes to your Mum xx
I'm sure your mom was delighted with this card, Loll. These peonies look so beautiful and their image surely makes your mom feel a bit of summer in the middle of winter. I love how you added embossed lines to frame the image of these flowers. Hugs for your mom. Lots of health for all of you, Loll.

Thank heaven you had this panel of flowers tucked away...they worked out perfectly for your mom's card, Loll! Happy 93rd birthday to her...and cheers to the caterer for making everything easy for the rest of you...way to go!!! xx
