I kept the hexagon wreath with flowers across the bottom, but made the whole design smaller and all flat on a card rather than dimensional with cutouts, and moved the position of the greeting. I also used the color challenge from this week for the color scheme.
I started with a Dollar Tree Hallmark small thank you card that had a light purple border and cut a piece of kraft cardstock just a little smaller so the border would show. I stamped the hexagon wreath (Hero Arts) and sentiment(unknown) in sepia ink on the kraft piece. I diecut multiple flowers and leaves from scraps of yellow, light purple and mint green cardstock, and glued centers to flowers. I arranged leaves along the bottom of the hexagon and glued down, then did the same with the assorted flowers. I followed the steps on a video to make a faux bow with a decorative brad bad glued to the top of the card with a thick glue dot. And I now realize you can no longer see that the wreath is supposed to be a hexagon, oh well! But I like how it turned out anyway.
Christine, congrats and I hope you had a great week as Featured Stamper!

Love purples and yellows together and your soft tones are so lovely. Love how you turned her window into a wreath but still used the hexagon shape. It did get covered up a bit, but I knew it was a hex even before I read your write-up. The butterfly charm is beautiful and the perfect topper with the bow. Wonderful card.
