Mother's Day Punchy Blooms

With Mother's Day quickly approaching, I need to get all of my cards in the mail today.  In addition to my mom, mother-in-law and grandmas, I like to send cards to a lot of the amazing mothers in my life because you can never over-emphasize the importance of great moms in the world.

This card is inspired by Ruby Red Swirls by today's SCS Featured Stamper Sf9erfan (Michelle).

I swapped out her cardstock for DP scraps, changed up the colors, and quickened the process by punching my flowers rather than stamping them (I have tons of flower punches that need to see more use).

The background is a scrap of K&Company DP (I think) that I embossed with the Floral Fantasy folder and sponged with Aquamarine ink to bring out the texture.  The large flowers are punched from the same DP.  I also added a Martha Stewart butterfly and eyelet punch (love this one) along the bottom edge.  K&Company stickers finish the design.
