Cut a small piece of cs and decided where I wanted the circular opening and die cut that. Stamped the flowers, masking as I went, embossed another piece of cs (for texture) to go behind the opening and attached to card front. Matted the focal image with black. Adhered mambo and black strips to the card front, and then mounted the focal image with dimensional tape, making sure the embossed cs was directly under opening. Die cut hello 2 times (pink and black), added lots of glitter glue (stickles) to the pink hello and that gave it a great glossy look and some added dimension! Adhered it carefully to the black hello to create a shadow effect and the adhered to the opening (dimensional tape cut to size behind the hello also). Added enamel dots and more stickles to the flowers.
Linking to CAS285 (colors) and WT492 (gloss). Also:

Love the way you created the focal panel, Maura. The way you stamped the flower centers keeps that texture idea going. Great flower stamp set. Welcome back from NYC!!
