Florals & Flutterbys for Mothers Day

I don't know about you, but I find that florals and butterflies are always a winner no matter what the occasion and appeals to such a wide spectrum of ages, and when it comes to selling cards, I think this is quite important. Hooray for cutting dies - how did I manage without them I often ask myself ;)
But Mothering Sunday will soon be upon us - March 30th in the UK, and I have a vintage & craft fayre coming up on the 23rd March so hopefully I will sell a few there. Otherwise I will be knee deep in mothers day cards but then I can always change them to birthday cards I guess!!

The card below is an aperture tri fold card by docrafts / papermania with a clear acetate window, an embossed white card behind, and is approx. an A5 size in the closed position. I really like these trifold card blanks as it enables you to hide all the tape and glue etc resulting in a neat finish / inside to the card.
Card recipe is below and as always, thank you for stopping by, any and all comments are hugely appreciated. xx
