I liked the spray of flowers on this pillow here, but stuck with 2 of the colors. I also wanted to sneak a card into the Flower Challenge before it closes, so I chose to paper piece the flower.
Stamped my bouquet 3x: once on neenah white, then the pink pp, and the yellow pp. Die cut the white one. Fussy cut the flower blooms from the stamped pp, attached to the white version, colored the stems with zig markers. Attached a strip of pp across the bottom of card front, as well as a strip of die cut hearts. Stamped the sentiment on the card front, popped up the bouquet with dimensional tape and added sparkly enamel dots from Your Next Step (the best sparkly dots!).

Fabulous Maura ... I am about to start some fussy cutting for another project. I put it off until the last, not one of my favourite things to do. You have done an amazing job on this beauty.
