Enjoy (It's your day)

Happy Sunday and Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!  Today I have a lovely card that I made that is a copy of a card I made a few months ago, only then it was a thank you card.  I just changed the sentiment for Mother's Day.  Now for the paper yummies:

I cut a bunch of strips of patterned papers from My Mind's Eye, and arranged them on a piece of white cardstock.  I tilted them different directions and varied the exposed width of each strip.  Then I trimmed the overhang and stitched all the way around the edge as well as where each pattern meets the next.  I used a Hampton Art stamp and embossed it, then cut the label using a Nestabilities die.  I finished off the panel with some ribbon and a brad, then attached it to the card base.  Here is a closer view of the sentiment:

I think this card is really sweet, and it reminds me of a strip quilt.  This type of card is a great way to use up scraps, and could be used for any occasion with a simple change of the sentiment.  Thanks for looking!
