I chose the Aston Peony Planner Calendar for my inspiration piece. I pretty much cased the design as it is, but added some dimension by popping the larger leaves and adding 3 Basic Grey Glazed Brads. Also added a popped dimensional petal to the center of the flower because I (gasp) flubbed it up and that is really a band aid in disguise!!

Anne, This is absolutely gorgeous! I love the plaid panel on the side with the 3 coordinating glazed brads. I'm proud of you for using them and not hoarding them away like I would
Excellent work!
