This is for today's Free for All challenge to use itty bitty flowers. This was out of my comfort zone as I don't usually make cards with lots of fussy pieces, nor do I do much dimensional embellishment.
I stamped my image which has lots of little flowers, colored everything but the flowers with Copics. Cut it with a Nestie and sponged the edges. Then I covered up all the flowers with pink and white punched blossoms that I gave dimension by using a stencil tool on a soft pad. I punched a few of the smaller blossoms to fill in gaps. I used Glossy Accents to attach the flowers, hoping they will stay in place!
I stamped Thank You in black then tried outlining in white gel pen. I probably should have skipped that step. :-) Punched the corners and added a butterfly.
This is for the ladies of my Sunday School class who gave me a wonderful birthday party. I wanted to do something special to show my appreciation.

Oh Val, this card is beautiful! All your hard work certainly paid off. I love all the beautiful flowers in your bouquet. Great color combo and that butterfly adds a beautiful finishing touch. A belated 'happy birthday'! (was it a milestone one, like mine was this year?)
