I started by washing on a sky with my Aquapainter, Baja Breeze ink pad and a template that I made with a Post-It Note. I stamped the flower twice...first on the card with Jet Black StazOn and again (with just the blossom) with Craft Basic Black ink onto watercolor paper. I embossed, watercolored it, cut it out and adhered it to the card with a Dimensional. Oh yes, I also highlighted some of the petals and flower's center with a Two-Way Glue Pen and Dazzling Diamonds. Then I just stamped the sentiment and wrapped the card with some distressed 1-1/4" Basic Black Striped Grosgrain Ribbon.
Thanks again for the opportunity!

Regina, your card is simply gorgeous! I love how the flower pops against the soft background. The dazzle and distressed edges are great accents. Great take on the challenge!

Regina, this is truly a CAS style card with so much beauty, dimension and creativity. I love your embossed, cut out, popped up and sparkly daisy on the pretty sky background. I have never seen such a pretty distressed wide grosgrain ribbon. Another really nice touch. This card really looks like a winner to me. Good Luck in the final round.
