Happy Mother's Day

Hi everyone.  Happy Mother's Day!  I'm sharing a quick and easy card I made for my Mom and took to her yesterday along with a bouquet of flowers.

This time I stamped my spray of flowers (Blooming Branch - PinkFresh Studio) onto patterned paper.  I used the matching stencils to sponge on colours for the flowers and leaves.  The sentiment (Beautiful Mothers - Simon Says Stamp) is stamped in black and I used my white Posca pen to add centers to the flowers.
