The All Occasion Card Challenge is a SCS forum to make sure you get birthday cards, Mothers Day cards, etc. done on time. They also post inspiration challenges within the challenge and the one for early February is to repurpose something on your card.
I took a commercial notecard I received from a friend and cut it up for the background and flower on this card. I added flourishes under the flower and a pearl in its centre. I cut out a panel for my sentiment, rounded its corners, and put it over the brand name of the original notecard - and my Memento Sweet Plum ink matched the colours perfectly for stamping my sentiment.
I'm going to use it as the birthday card for the friend who sent me the original notecard!

Great story! Your friend will really appreciate this. Love the beautiful deep purple of this card. Just a beautiful card with the flower and the flourish and that bg.
