This card is for 3 challenges this week. Firstly, the featured stamper this week is Sophie La Fontaine, a stamper who's work I am very familiar with and absolutely love! Sophie, your gallery was amazing and, after much deliberation, chose this card -
I kept the same sketch as Sophie but changed the colours to this week's colour challenge - Real Wonder Island. I also used my new SU set, Reason to Smile. I stamped my bg paper with 2 flowers from the set in the 3 chosen colours and coloured in using a blender pen and my inkpads. I then sponged around the flowers with Island Indigo. I cut out my red cardstock using a scallop cutter and kept my main image to the one flower which I stamped using markers and coloured with my blender pen again. I stamped sentiment, added the pearls and lightly sponged around image in Wisteria Wonder.
This card is also for this week's Technique Challenge - pleated or ruched ribbon.
Thank you for looking!

Sue, a terrific card.....and combining 3 challenges in one. Love your flower bedecked card with the bg DP you created yourself. You used the CC colors so well and in such a balanced way which I truly admire! : )

Alright Sue! You are really catching up!!! Love your very pretty flowers you stamped in the background and I especially like the blue one that is featured on the raised panel! I really like the three dew drops too! I have them and always forget to use them, unless there is water! They look awesome on your card! Beautiful card, lovely case and great use of the colors!!!
