You can find the photo we played from for KarenÂ’s challenge here.
I played off color, white, black, grey and that taupe rug which also sent my mind straight to the scallop punch.
The backgrounds I used were because of the wood floor (the direction it went in the photo), upholstery tucks, and the art piece above the mantel.
The oval lamp table looks like the petals on my flowers and that’s also where I got the touch of black. The glow of the light looked like Apricot Appeal from Stamping Up – my flower centers, green outside – my flower stems and just a hint of blue came across on my screen so I ink distressed the edges with Tim Holtz Weathered Wood.
-Flower stems are freehand cut and I laid each of them and the leaves on the Odd Olive stamp pad and rubbed my finger lightly across to pick up a little ink. Clean finger before touching white cardÂ…wink!
-The oval petals are the small flower: a Fiskars punch, the larger flower: a QuicKutz mini tag. And the centers are ¼” and ½” circle punches.
-I ink distressed the flower petals and centers and the card edges.
-Scallop punch is Stampin Up; inside circles are Cuttlebug die cuts.
-Faux brads on the corner punch simply because I forgot to add them before I attached the panel!
-All images are Cornish Heritage Farms.

Roxie...I absolutely love this card....the little flowers are so sweet and then they coordinate so well with the big one. The black and white ribbon is perfect and sentiment is so cool! Really fun card!
