This was another go with the cling wrap technique, this time using a color combo of orange/red/hot pink that worked out pretty well. They looked bright and summery to me so I decided to punch some flowers out of them. I used a "flower builder" punch so I ended up with round pieces left over.
I started with a pre-made kraft card and added strip of patterned paper (I think this is also EK Success but not sure; I do know I've been hoarding it forever!) I started out cutting it straight with my paper cutter but decided it was more interesting and looked more like "ground" under my flowers if it was curvy. So I trimmed the edges following the "stitch" lines on the paper and attached it to my card. I punched the flower centers out of a yellow pattern paper scrap and glued them to the flowers. Then I attached the flowers along the pattern paper strip using pop dots for lots of dimension.
I stamped the sentiment in hot pink ink onto white cardstock and cut it into a rectangle using my paper cutter then used a corner rounding punch to curve the corners, and glued it onto the card. I finished by using those flower center dots as faux sequins, attaching them with a tiny dot of glue so I could use a toothpick to bend up the edges to look a little more sequin-like.
This technique was lots of fun, thanks for the challenge, and thanks for looking!

Those flowers are sweet. I like the way you used the extra circles, and the wavy brown strip looks great: I'd say cutting it curved along the stitching lines was a good choice.

Such a fun and springy card! I love the warm color combination! I like that the stitching lines and little circles give movement to the card.
