I thought I'd bring out my SU Parisian Summer DSP for this card. I know it says "summer", but with the bravo burdundy mixed in, I think it could be either cooler or warmer.
I popped up the 1st layer on dimensionals, then I added my panels per the sketch.
On the left hand corner, I used my SU Scallop Border Punch and added a line ribbon with flowers in which I placed gold pearls in the centers.
I then added my triangular mats in the middle which were popped up on dimensionals and used my SU scallop punch for the center. I punched out 2 of the scallop circles and placed them on top of each other at the next angle. I then embossed the circle with the swirls ef. Added a beautiful flower with gold pearls and that finished up the triangular mat.
I added a few little gold pearls on the inside of the flowers on the left per the sketch.
I added a HB greeting using the SU word window and modern label punches.
For just a little something "extra" I used the MS daisy corner punch on the right hand side of the top and bottom corners and added gold pearls.
Well, there you have it! I just realized I meant to add a little dazzling diamonds around the edges of the scallop circles and forgot, but I don't think it really needs it. I just LOVE sparkle!!
I just realized this could go in the CT0110 challenge for flowery and feminine!
Thanks SO MUCH for dropping by to take a look and let me know what you think if you have a quick moment!

I've come to see what you're up to today and I see you have this magnificent card made for the MMSC. Wow! What a gorgeous card and the burgundy is fabulous. I'm in love with that center flower..and what is that I see in the center? Could that be pearls????? They look beautiful. I'm seeing some wonderful new punches. I wish I had time this week to play the challenge but I don't. Looks as if you've made a card pretty enough for the both of us. And, thankfully, no stitches yet.

Beautiful job! You do such a wonderful job with these sketches - I find they often have more detail than I usually look for in a sketch so I'm always delighted to see how you pull it together. Love all the shiny bits and punched edges and corners. I also like the looks of that MS corner punch.... I haven't ordered that SU punch yet - I'm still struggling with SU's Cdn prices while our $ is almost par... And tonight is a new Verve release so may decide to shop there... But, I digress my dear Fruitflake - I shall simply say 'You've done it again girl! Another WOW card!'

Hi Persimmon�I mean Pam..dang..some day I will get it right LOL your card today is so elegant and your extra attention to those tiny details have really enhanced your card. I have the one you sent me sitting right here next to my computer and look at it all the time. It was just so sweet of you to send me my bag of goodies.. Thank you again. Anyway, I was working on some future sketches this week and your card kept staring at me�I am not sure if it was haunting or inspiring me�...lol lets just say it was a haunting inspiration experience ..LOL I think the results of my future sketches are going to scare you more though..lol, so look out my dear friend and do not let them run you off and hide..I will hunt you down�Just having a little fun with you. Take it easy and as always, thank you so much for playing the Midnight Madness sketch challenges each week with us. Shhhhh sneak peek is posted.

This is STUNNING, Pam!! Your color combo is magnificent, and all of your special details really make this card shine. I especially love that burgundy flower, the daisy lace, and all of those pretty gold pearls. What a wonderful work of art!!
