I have been determined to use some beautiful flowers given to me by my 11-month older twin sister, AudreyAnn, who is now also a member of The Dirty Dozen. Being the MUCH younger one doesn't always pay off! LOL!!
Audrey gave me the scripted flower and the solid one on top. I then topped it off with one of my pre-made flowers. So, it turned into a triple flower. I kind of came up with this card as I went along.
I added white crochet ribbon, pearl swirls and a button I had in my stash. I used 2 ef's and draped the white one over the bermuda bay with a matching ribbon. Added the sponged sentiment and a couple border punches and I was done. I love bermuda bay, but it is a retired color now!
Thanks so much Audrey for these delicious flowers. I still have more to go in different colors - can't wait!! Take care my DD older twinzi!
This also qualifies for the CT0611 Fan Club Challenge to use text on your card. You can barely see mine, but it's on the back flower!!!
Thanks for taking a look.

Pamzelina (aka my favourite Fruitflake) - this is gorgeous. Bermuda Bay is one of my fave colours - so sad it retired. It makes me think of cruising the Caribbean - and you know I love cruising! Sweet of your older twinzi to give you such pretty flowers. Love the swirly pearls. Hugz! RYPH!

I love your card with the 2 embossed folders. The color is really pretty. The flower is to die for, and I didn't know that Audrey was or is your sister. How totally awesome!! Two extremely talented women in the same family - very cool!! :>)

It actually looks like people think your Fruitflakey story about being Audzi's twinzie is true. You are the limit my OPP.

Love this Faith! The embossing folders are delish, a textural delight! I like how you used the text in the flower to play with the DD- way to go! Hugz.....

OMGoodness Twinzi - this card is full wonderful color and dimension! What can I say - I am in love with your flower bundle!! Love the colors, the lace, the beautiful pearl flourish, plus I see a little fab sponging going on here as well - this is a STUNNER! So many beautiful elements to feast my eyes upon I can barely take them away to comment.

This card is beautiful. I love the blues and the checkered ef. That flower and gold button are gorgeous. I love the addition of the crocheted ribbon and the pearls. Truly elegant.
