Mothers-in-law are so hard, at least mine was. When she was my neighbor it was so unpleasant (maybe that was just me?). Then a hurricane came and we moved and now I look forward to her phone calls each Sunday. Funny how that works, huh?
My mother-in-law was just here recently for a visit, along with my sister-in-law. She bought the kids some school clothes while she was here, so a thank you card is in order. But I also want to thank her, just for visiting and let her know that I'm glad she's my MIL.
She has macular degeneration, so when I make a card for her I take that into consideration. She can still see, but she can see high-contrast much easier, so one-layer cards are perfect. I added a bit of scoring with my scor-pal for texture. I kind of love how this turned out, even if the sentiment is a scosh crooked.

very nice card....sure your mil will be happy to receive it...
How beautifully simple! I love the subtlety of it.
This is just really beautiful, One layer cards make me appreciate the beauty of the stamps and composition.
It's pretty funny to me that you and Susan are doing this "challenge" together. I have a folder of cardmaking favorite blogs that I follow and you two are the top two spots!
That's a great tree stamp. Now, see...if you hadn't mentioned that the sentiment was crooked, I probably wouldn't have noticed. Love the pink background. Thanks for sharing!
Nice of you to consider the MD with the card. I still have family members who write real small on stuff for me...even after 20 years! lol
Very pretty card! I love the score lines and how they "root"/anchor the tree :-)
Beautiful card for what seems to be a beautiful lady.
Love the simplicity of this card. The score lines give it that little extra boost, without overdoing it. Thank you for sharing.
wow...your cas card is simply stunning...the less is more is definitely the case here...excellent card!
Wonderful CAS card, Mary! I can't stamp a straight sentiment for the life of me! I know what you mean about Mother-in-laws. . .I could have never lived near mine!
A lovely card! Don't be too hard on yourself. I find it hard to live next door to my MIL at times.
Very nice card! I love that tree stamp and sentiment. Who made these stamps? I had a wonderful mother-in-law who was like a second mother to me. I miss her very much.
What a beautiful card. I love the scoring at the bottom - such a nice touch.
Pretty card! Love the color!

Ooo...smart call on the contrast issue! Something to keep in mind with the older relations too...this would also be perfect for a masculine card...great job!
Very Nice!! Love the contrasting colors!
Simple but beautiful!
Very pretty! I love the colors! :)
The speckled cardstock really adds dimension to this card.
So pretty and CAS, and I love the cs you used!
