I combined two of this weeks challenges, Got Grid and the colour challenge (almost amethyst, wild wasabi and So saffron.
On the So saffron panel I created a diamond grid, Stamped on fresh cut flowers, itty bitty backgrounds, I sponged on the grid lines to give it some shadow. Cuttle bugged the AA panel with script folder. Used my Martha Stewart Punch for the scalloped edge on the AA. Sewed on the buttons and did the faux stitching. Stamped the Fresh Cut flower image with basic black and clear embossed. Coloured the flowers with Barley banana and green pencil crayon. Used my Nestabilities for the scalloped edges of the Wild Wasabi and Black and Stamped image. Stamped two extra leaves and clear embossed. Cut out and popped up. Punched out the smalled scalloped circles with my cuttled bug die, Punched out the SS circle with the 1 1/4" circle punch. stamped on flowers in barley banana, inked up the edges. Stamped "For You" in basic black. pierced holes.

Very pretty card - especially like your gridwork and the 3D extra flowers ... can't see, but can imagine they're beautiful w/the embossing. Great card!

This is so pretty also. I like the way you sponged ink along the scored lines to give them more definition. I also like the extra leaves that you embossed and cut out. That adds such a nice dimension.
