Mother's Day Cards Continued =)

Happy Hump Day My Crafty Friends!

My friend, owner of Custom Cool Covers and number one supporter always honors me with sharing my handmade cards with her friends and family members.  She really loved my last Mother's Day Card that she was interested in three additional cards, in which she only asked for two different designs.

I was so excited about her request that I decided to make two different cards in addition to the two she requested. 

Here is Card 2 inspired by this Mojo Monday Sketch.  I was too late entering that weeks entry, but I loved it so much that I decided to still use it. :)
