Even if you don't consider yourself especially artistic, you can make this card! The cherry branch outline is drawn with a black felt-tip calligraphy marker. There's honestly no right or wrong way ... the wide, chiseled tip makes straight, bent, and intersecting lines look equally dramatic. Warm up your wrist by making practice lines on a sheet of scrap paper before moving on to your white cardstock.
The quilled leaves take a bit of practice too, but before long you'll be rolling coils with the best of 'em. A bonus of this design is that the coils don't have to match in size ... in fact, a variety is best.
Most moms appreciate receiving something handmade for Mother's Day, and although it is getting close (Sunday the 8th!), there's still time to make this little card. Perhaps pick out a frame to go along with it, just in case she decides it's worthy of a place on the mantel.
