I was really pleased when I finished this card! I love the colors and the digi image and the ribbon and button with flourishes on them to complement the flourishes of the stems of the image. And I used my favorite Cuttlebug embossing folder, Swiss Dots. I have three challenge sites to thank for inspiration for this card. The digi image is from Isabella's Sketchbook and the challenge is to make a card based on a summer memory. I love beautiful blooming flowers in the summer. My flowers are actually paper pieced and the two larger one are popped up although you really can't tell that in the photo. I used buttons for the flower centers. The color combination of Old Olive, Ruby Red, Cameo Coral and Very Vanilla comes from The Color Dare Challenge #70. Linda Payne's challenge at Stamp TV Blast From the Past is to use an unusual button on a bow. I made my bow with a ribbon that has a pretty flourish on it and the button also has flourishes on the edges that go well with the flower stem flourishes! Hope you all enjoyed this one and come back again for more!!
