This is for Angela's HYCCT Tilted Panels Challenge. I found this piece of pink floral design in my scrap stash. It is a leftover piece from a HYCCT card I made in 2011 using the serendipity technique! Here's how I made it, "I began with a base of Whisper White and used Pink Pirouette, Pretty in Pink and Regal Rose ink pads to smear the direct to paper bg. I then stamped the leaves in Early Espresso and the Flowers in Rose Red doing some masking along the way to fill in my flowers between the leaves. I then smeared Versamark over the entire paper and spread clear ep and sprinkled a little gold ep in the first coat then did the same for a second clear coat." My back panel was made using the where I stamped my French Script then washed over it with blue acrylics. The dots are formed by then adding big drops of rubbing alcohol over it. For my sentiment, I stamped in Strawberry Slush and watercolored from ink pad lids then sponged with Turquoise after punching out the center part. I layered this over another stamped tag which I fussy cut adding the brads. I then popped this over a larger circle. I tilted the tag as well. I embellished with ribbon, photo corners and a doily piece. This card wasn't as time consuming as it sounds since the two back pieces were already prepared!!!

Wonderful idea to use a bit of the past for a future card. And very thrifty as well. I'm a push over for backgrounds with script - love em'! Lovely card for Angie's Challenge.
