A card for Mum

My turn to choose a challenge on Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge and now Valentine's day is over the next important date is Mother's Day, well it is if you're in the UK. So my theme is a card for Mum whether Mothers Day or Birthday, or a female card for someone special.
My card is for my Mum's Mother Day and she loves busy cards, it has to have everything on it and even though I couldn't workout where to pu tsome glitter, the roses have been sprayed with glimmer mist to make them shimmer.
I'm not too sure if she will like the images my Mum doesn't quite get cute but likes flowers so hope the roses make up for that.
I've used the lattice deep border punch and the butterflies from MS, the images are WOJ. I only used one sheet of patterned paper from papermania there was enough going on without using lots of layers.
I've been asked what size cards I use, I make mine all from A4 linen card that I buy in bulk and for square cards they are 14.5cm and the card I used today is 14.5cm by 20cm.

If you looking for Mr Linky to link your card for the Simon Says Stamps Challenge blog it's
