This color challenge was to use Certainly Celery, Old Olive, and Summer Sun. The base card is Celery with a strip of Old Olive that is scalloped and doodled. The Celery ribbon is on the top edge of that strip and goes through a painted pop top. The big flower is stamped on Summer Sun and punched with a 1/8 in. punch. I used the Spring Bouquet Flower punch to punch the center from Celery and added the Celery brad. The leaves are stamped on Old Olive, cut out and adhered to the flower. I used the scallop circle punch to punch Old Olive to put behind the flower so it shows through the holes. The small flowers were just punched with the flower punch, embossed, and a Celery brad was added to the centers.
Before I uploaded this card, I checked the gallery to see how many people used this same stamp set. When I saw TERRORE3's card, I almost fell off my chair!!! GMTA!! She posted hers first, so I'm giving her credit even though I hadn't seen hers when I was making mine. They are just so much alike that I just couldn't believe it!!! Here's her card: TJE Spent thanks by TERRORE3 at Splitcoaststampers
EDIT: The idea of punching the dots on the flower and backing it with a scallop punched piece is from Stampin' Up!'s website for demos. There's a December workshop template there that explains how to do that!
Thanks for taking a peek!!

The similarities between your and TERRORE3's cards is amazing. It's funny, bec when I looked at the gallery, I commented to myself that there were several Time Well Spent cards in the gallery, but I hadn't noticed your twin cards! I guess I must have thought I was seeing the same one! Well, you're in good company and both are terrific cards. I like your poptop buckle, doodled scallops, hole-punched blossom and your cute little bradded flowers. Lots of cool embellishments here! Great card!
