Mothers day card featuring W plus 9

Hello!
Happy Monday & Happy belated Mothers Day! Hope you all had a lovely mothers day, however you may have spent it, spending time with your mama's or being spoiled by your little ones!
I personally spend it with my mom, grandma and both my bothers at brunch on a patio (because it's finally nice out!) and it was lovely!:)
I wanted to share the card I made for my mom for mothers day and also participate in the Sparkle and Shine challenge blog today.
Now that I have received my Pretty Pink Posh sequins (which got here in super speedy time, I was super impressed), I had to play along with this challenge!:)


I used the Pretty Little Peonies set from W plus 9 for the flowers. This is also a new set to me and I love it! It is a builder set so it took me some playing around with them to figure out how to best stamp them. There is three images you stamp for each flower image to give it more depth and life, of course you don't have to use all three. What I found best for me was to use all three images but I only used two different colors for each and did some second generation stamping with one of the colors.
It took me a while but I like the way it turned out and I will definitely continue to play around with this pretty set!
I stamped my sentiment from the Unforgettable stamp set also from W plus 9, as it seemed very fitting for my mom!
And of course finished it off with a variety of Pretty Pink Posh sequins.


Again hope you all had lovely Mothers Day and a good start to your week. Thanks for stopping by!!
