Today's sketch was a tough one for me, Roxie! I ended up deciding to make the vertical panel a removable tag and the horizontal border a type of pocket by using sticky strip across the bottom.
I haven't made one of these layered flowers yet either so here's my attempt. I stamped the flower 3x in espresso on baja then cut out each flower. The bottom layer is the whole flower, the second one I cut a couple petals away and the last is only about 4 petals. I just curled the petals with my fingers. The center is from a bag of vintage buttons from Michael's. TFL!

It doesn't look like you had a hard time, Holly....this card is gorgeous! Love the distressed look and the tag. The scrunched ribbon and double punched border are beautiful!

Wow - what a cool and unique take on this challenge. I love what you did! Pretty colors, love the repeating wavy border and piercing. Really nicely done.
