This is for 3 challenges - Kim Hughes, justwritedesigns02 and melmel's.
I found Kim's the hardest challenge this week, and I'm not totally happy with this.
5 3/4" square base, covered with an orangey Basic Grey, and then a purple one stamped with a couple of stamps from Kittie Kits Create a Scene, using Dusty Concord and Shabby Shutters. The photo of a lily was cut and layered with Nestabilities. Top panel is vellum embossed with Swiss Dots, corners punched. Instead of ribbon I used a pearlescent vellum, which (you cant see this, I've tried umpteen photos) I stamped with Canvas in Versamark, embossed with sparkle EP, crimped the lower layer and stuck a narrower strip on top. I added a little butterfly, stamping a PB image on the lighte purple paper and then lining up a punch over it. Liquid Pearls in the punched corners finished this off.
I'd never have used these colours together myself, but I pulled them from the photo.

This is so pretty! I love the soft lavenders and dotted swiss texture. Your photo is wonderful and I love that you used it in your card. The vellum 'ribbon' is really lovely. Great job on all the challenges and thanks so much for playing!
