This card came together relatively quickly when I decided that I was going to combine some challenges...I find that this helps me focus and narrows down my choices....The first challenge is for the Featured Stamper and I have cased this card of Beate's:
I have kept the image, used different DP, added an embossed textured paper which I have torn (this embossing qualifies if for this weeks Flourishes Challenge - Betty I have loved your cards and find them so inspiring! - I look forward to the Flourishes Challenge each week) I have also deleted the sentiment and added layered flowers and punched branches from Suleika (aka Roxystamper), changed the position of the ribbon and added a butterfly embellishment.........finally I have used this weeks Colour Challenge and although I do not have the exact colours I have gone pretty close!!!
The image is from a RAK from one of my Twisted Sisters Shirley (aka wannabcre8tive) and is chalked. I have added Kindy Glitz lightly to the centre of each flower, but as usual sparkle can be hard to capture on camera...I have also used Dimensional Magic on the terrecotta pot to make it look glazed...this is a great effect IRL but doesn't show up in the photo either!!!
Thank you for looking, I would love to hear what you think.....

Oh Linda, your coloring is so totally exceptional. Beautiful card with just the perfect balance and embellishments. I wanna take back my comment about you being deranged! This is beautiful.
