This card is also for CHF Summer Design Challenge I am using CHF single Coneflower and Mona Lisa's Script Essential Expressions sets. I colored my coneflower using copics and used an ornare piercing template to create some visual interest around the borders. I am using some retired print patterns dp in saffron. I finished with a slightly a skewed oval center sentiment. I added silver pearl domes in various sizes to complete my card.
