Flourish & Flower Just Because Card - Inkspirational Challenge # 17

This week at Inkspirational we have a sketch challenge for you.  I'm here with an end of the week encouragement post - if you haven't taken part in the challenge yet, you still have a few days (the challenge ends on Tuesday) so get creating!

 

I immediately thought of the SU! Flowering Flourishes set when I saw this layout picture.  I dug out a piece of pink paper from a Basic Grey paper pad that I've had in my stash for years.  I inked the image and sentiment in VersaMark and heat embossed them with Early Espresso embossing powder.  I cut out the pink panel with a scalloped rectangle die, layered that onto an Early Espresso mat and adhered that to the front of a Pink Pirouette A6 card base.  I wanted a large bloom at the side so I die cut a few flowers, added some shaping, attached them together with a pink rhinestone brad and adhered the bloom to the card front.

Here's the inside and the envelope with just some simple stamping.

I hope you can join in with our challenge this week, I'd love to pop by your blogs to see your fab creations!
