I made this card for SC317...what a cool sketch...stayed up late, but got it made!! I used a SU set and a sentiment from Impression Obsession. Stamped the flower several times and cut out the different petals from the various stamped ones. I colored the stamen with so saffron marker, and popped up the petals on a base stamped flower. The bg is an attempt at a "do over" when I didn't like the striped ef I used and used a polka dotted one over it(I know it never looks like you just embossed for the first time, but you know...this time I thought it COULD... WOULD?!!)...kinda liked it, so kept it(besides, I didn't feel like searching for another piece of paper...this card is scraps).
Thanks for looking, have a great day...I will get to the gallery this evening!!

The dots and the brads add wonderful balance to this lovely card.
