Mothers Day Card

I thought I'd try & be a bit organised & get some cards made ahead of time instead of leaving things until the last minute like I usually do. Yesterday I made a Mothers Day card for my OH's Mam. Her favourite colour is white hence the card is all white (apart from the gold writing on the sentiment).
I had seen a card made with the Marianne D Flower on here & thought it looked lovely so decided to do one too. I cut the flower & leaves out using white pearlescent paper. I then cut out two squares from the same paper using Nesties. I layered the leaves & flowers up on the smaller square & embossed the larger square in my cuttlebug. Stupidly, I hadn't noticed that the paper was only pearlescent on one side so it turns out the pattern is debossed rather than embossed! I stuck the debossed square flat to the cardstock & then used foam pads to raised the smaller square & flower above it. I used a sticky pearl as the centre of the flower & as the parts of the card that didn't have paper on looked a bit plain I added pearls to this too. I finished it off using a sentiment from Craftwork cards. I would have preferred the sentiment to have been in silver but unfortunately I didn't have any in my stash.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
CRAFT Challenge - Mothers Day
MSE Challenge - Mothers Day
Little Claires - Challenge 2 - Flowers
