This is somewhat based on a SC sketch challenge #377. This SU set is still one of my favorites.
I colored the image with copics and it seemed to match up, colorwise, with SU Orchid Opulence. I found a sheet of SU dsp with that color surprisingly as it's not a color used very often and is a retired color at that. I stamped the image twice, popped it up on dimensionals and covered the whole image with crystal effects for a shiny look. Added some bling to each flower center.
I also popped up the image on the nestie which is lightly sponged with Pale Plum and Orchid Opulence. I used the oval punch for the sentiment placed beneath the image.
I paper pierced 2 of the panels, embossed the panel b/hind the image, added lace, diecuts, flowers, more bling and a ribbon I found that happened to match. I'm not sold on the size of it b/c I think it's a little big for the image, but I just had to use it.
Thanks so much for taking a look and have a great evening.
P.S. I'm not a copic's expert by any means, but if you are interested in what I used for this card, they are:

Pam this is gorgeous. I am amazed how you have kicked your card crafting abilities up several notches. Your Copic coloring looks spot on and your card is layered to perfection girl. Way-to-go.

I have snippets of that retired SU paper, too! Orchid Opulence, all dressed up. I love purple, so this is a winner in my book. Love how you popped up those flowers for a 3D look.
Big hugz, Pamzi!
