Who would have thought you could use a cardboard box on a card! Melody's Way To Use It challenge was just that! I peeled off one side of the corregated cardboard and then cut the Top Note shape, cutting off outside the dotted line. I mounted it on a piece of Regal Rose cs also cut with the Top Note die. The flower is from Rita Marie & Company's set Violet Garden, colored with Copic and Prismacolor markers. After cutting out the violet, I backed it with a Sizzix leaf diecut and glued them both to the cardboard. I wanted to dress it up a little, so I added the brads at the top. I sponged around the white card base with Creamy Caramel.

This caught my eye in your gallery. What a beautiful card for the challenge. I thought this one was a little 'challenging' but you managed it so well. The coloring on your flower is gorgeous.
