I found it hard to get a good picture, in real life I was very happy with it. The cover plate piece has been on my desk for a while after I used all the flowers from it for something else. I looked though my background box and found a piece from Anita's Erupting Paint challenge (TLC857~Erupting Paint~07/26/2021 by snietje at Splitcoaststampers ) which worked well. I cut the plate again from green (no idea what I'll do with all those green flowers!) and inlaid the leaves, and filled the circles with Enamel Accents. I added a mitred frame popped up on foam, and added it to a pake purple base. I finished if off with gold sequins and Stickles in the flower centres, and for Jen's challenge element I cut the letters for GROOVY from pink shimmer paper backed onto thin card with double-sided adhesive. I was really pleased with bring able to integrate this without taking away from the overall pretty floral feel.
Scripture verse stamped inside, as I didn't want to cover up my front.

That cover plate floral die is great and mostly because you brought it to life with that beautiful bg. Love the colors! You more than managed to add your sentiment without covering or detracting from the florals. Great job. I bet those colors and the shimmer paper really make this shine IRL. Fabulous card.
