I kept Joanne's sketch and floral theme.The image is colored with SU markers and the curry layer is stamped with curry ink to give a soft, subtle pattern. I changed the placement of the sentiment and left off the photo corners. I added a band of ribbon under the main image panel and added pearls. I can't seem to design a card without using pearls these days. I guess I'm addicted!
Thanks for looking! Please browse Sleepinseatle's gallery soon - there's lots of eye candy in there for sure!

Great colour combo and card. As per your question, I used the 1/4" punch for the flower centers on my card. Forgot to add it to the details - thanks for pointing it out. Will go back and add that in the description.

The pearls are an eye catcher here Chris, love the flower, the yellows and greens so beautiful, love the little added bee, though I don't like bees at all in real life. LOL

Pearls are a nice addiction to have! They do add a lot to your card. I love the image, your scallops and those extras you added to your BG paper. Very good case!

Fabulous CASE and card! I love your colors, coloring and how you circle punched your bee. Very effective and beats the heck out of cutting him out! tsmfs
