This card is for a dear friend and cardmaking buddy! I plan to enter it in three SCS challenges:
1- Alphabet Challenge, Round 8, Letter C/ double challenge: X = X-acto. Of course, C works just fine, as my card is all about cork flowers, but to meet the X-acto challenge, I had to cut my Fishtail banners with an X-acto blade, at which I am not terribly skilled. for more hand-cutting, I also fussy-cut the fishtails with my scissors and the edges of my felt leaves with my pinking shears to make them more jagged.
2- Featured Stamper #FS557 - This week's featured stamper is Rochelle, aka beechwood, and while browsing her lovely gallery, I found another card that gave me inspiration for another card I needed to make. See her Sunflower Pop-up Book card here: Sunflower Pop Up Book Card by beechwood at Splitcoaststampers.
For my card, I used many colors as did Rochelle, plus fishtail banners, flowers with leaves, and layered circles, both plain and scalloped, but I do have a completely different layout. I also did not make a pop-up inside as Rochelle did in her card. Rochelle, these creative pop-ups are so clever, but I did not have time to add this idea!
3- Inspiration Challenge #IC618 - view the Victorian Trading Co. website for inspiration. I chose the Marie Antoinette Shoe Bags as my inspiration for its lovely colors and flowers. See it here: https://www.victoriantradingco.com/i...shoe-bags-pair.

Oh my goodness, your card has so many beautiful patterns, textures and colors, it is a delight for the eyes! This vintage/collage style works perfectly!
