A Triptych Card

Over the next couple of weeks, we plan on turning up projects suitable for one of the most important people in our lives. Mother's day will be here next month (some countries have already had it) and we hope to jumpstart the holiday with new ideas. Giselle launches our theme with a marvelous alternative to the greeting card.
