Used this week's sketch, but I flipped it upside down. Die cut the top white panel with a stitched die. Die cut my vase and poppies and then sponged them - working toward gradations of color (ombre), and then I sprayed them with shimmer mist, so they has a lovely sparkle IRL. After spritzing, I embossed some designs on the vase with an embossing folder strip and my score tool. Cut my main white panel at an angle (no die), and cut a peach cs strip to fit the opening and then ran it through with my stitched rectangle die to get the same stitched border as my white panel. Embossed the sentiment in white on the peach strip and adhered to card front. Popped up the 2 parts of the white panel with dimensionals and added sequins. Linking also to:

What a wonderful idea to split your panels and insert the orange with the sentiment stamped on it. So different. I love your die cut vase and poppies too. Just a lovely card.

Sometimes simplest is best as you have shown here. Lovely CAS design with the sketch. The subtle shading on the vase and poppies takes it from ordinary to outstanding.
