Just playing with this challenge. We were to use playing cards. I made the flowers with cards and the leaves all have either a club or a king on them. The background is embossed with the queen of hearts. I was not real happy with the placement of the leaves but I tried and tried and finally decided on this. tfl
I finally decided why I did not like the leaves - they are too big. I will probably take them off and make smaller ones!

I am so impressed! I've not seen that EF but I think what you've created to go along with the folder and the challenge is spectacular. OMGosh, this is so cool. What a great idea to use the cards for the flowers. Your leaves are not too large. Each one is decorated so well.

Ah Rita, I love this one! I love the embossed Queen of Hearts and the wonderful hearts die cut border, but best of all are those beautiful flowers! So creative to make them out of card images!
