Elegant Mother's Day Card - challenge 115

I'm on a roll this morning.  I've been up since 4 a.m. - just couldn't sleep - so I thought I might just as well make some cards for Mother's Day.
This card is the opposite of the earlier posted card which was vintage.  This one is elegant, sophisticated.
The base is Very Vanilla.  The next Vanilla layer is embossed with silver embossing powder  using  the image from Elements of Style stamp.
The focal point is oval in shape (I used the Coluzzle).  I put silver glass glitter around the oval.  Inside the oval are 3 flowers.  The carnations are made using the Scallop circle punch, and the Rose bud was made using the Build a Blossom punch.  The leaves were hand cut (the paper was put through the crimper first).

Stamp: Messages for Mom
Ink: Versa Mark
Papers: Very Vanilla, Whisper White, Rose Red, Always Artichoke
Accessories: Silver glass glitter, Blossom Petal Punch, 5 Petal Punch, Scallop Circle Punch, silver embossing powder, Coluzzle
