Lately my cards tend to take several days to see completion due to a busy schedule and seemingly lack of creative vision. So, this card started as inspiration from Little Blue Flowers wall art, https://www.greatbigcanvas.com/view/...cKVNG9OGOhF4o2 for Saturday's IC701 Great Big Canvas. I couldn't seem to finish it off until I saw today's WT740 Buttons, Bows and Beads. I managed to get all three onto my card, yippee!
The oval bg was from a recent stencil brusho challenge attempt; I stamped (using MISTI) the flowers using the blue DOX inks and spritzing with water. Stamped the stems the same using Peeled Paint, then wiped away the chalky residue with a paper towel. Die cut using the 2nd largest oval then stamped the sentiment in black, added the micro beads to the centers of the 2 small flowers. The oval was attached to the paisley embossed card base and added the bow and button.

Yay for getting all three challenges. I love the background and those pretty flowers. Now, I am wondering if I have that paisley embossing folder....hope so...it is so pretty.

Fabulous floral panel. I love the colours in it, the contrast between the flowers and the yellows, super stencilling with the Brusho too. I really like the seed beads for the flower centres.

Love the inspiration for this very lovely card. I know what you mean about taking several days to make cards, mine seem to be taking several days to make these days as well.

A fantastic card, Julie......fulled with bright, clear color and texture galore. I must admit I like your thoughtful, no rush with time approach to your card making. (I'm a slap-dash, "get 'er done" card maker and you inspire me to take more time and enjoy the process.)
