Happy Mother's Day

Finally, the wedding of the century is upon us and I look forward to seeing the fashions and of course Kate`s dress, but especially the variety of hats. I am fascinated with the Fascinators! I have my red, broad brimmed hat decorated with flowers and my red gloves ready to don in the early hours as I settle in to watch the fairy tale wedding. While on holiday, I purchased Kate's ABC's and have been admiring the hats on this cartridge. So, in honour of my Mom, I made a hat, embossed the broad brim, added flowers and blinged them (is there such a word) and attached a pearl in the centre. A few pop dots gave the hat some dimension. I used two ribbons to adorn the bottom with a little lacey scallop and three pearls to the edge. I made the sentiment on the computer ``Hats off....to you Mom!`` I will enter this card into the following challenges:
Fantabulous Cricut: Mom`s the word
PIO: 2 ribbons
Simon Says Stamp: anything goes
Aud Sentiments: Happy Mother`s Day
