Well - it would have been *hello* if I hadn't put it away with the wrong set!
This came in at 12 minutes by my stopwatch, with everything I needed on the table; the die-cutting is included in 12 minutes, but it didn't leave me time to start looking for the Hello stamp when it wasn't where it should have been.
A2 base, cut a piece of BG Two Scoops to size and stamped the stem all along it with ColorBox Pigment Turquoise. Cut circles in white and the deeper colour of plain blue from the Two Scoops pad. Stamped the flowers with Brilliance Orchid. I used pearlescent chalks for colouring, for speed, and added pearls in the centre. Popped them up on foam dots and stuck them on the card. Stamped the sentiment with the same ink, punched it out and attached it with Styled Silver hardware and some turquoise grosgrain ribbon. A little butterfly that has been turning up every time I tidy was the final touch.
Whew, don't usually work that fast.
But my LSC from last Friday would have been my entry for this challenge ( I did make it after I read the blog in the morning) except that I do like to try to use Flourishes stamps when I can.
eta - woe is me, woe is me. I can't find that Hello stamp anywhere. I used it two weeks ago, and it[s not in the bin so I hope it will turn up soon...sigh.

Fun card - whether it says 'hello' or 'friend' matters not - it's a great card! Fun ribbon treatment...

Oh... 12 minutes.. too long.. you're disqualified! LOL! Just kidding! I love the vibrant pop of color you added and you don't know how many times I have put the wrong sentiment in with the wrong set! I hope you find your "hello!" Thanks for playing!

This is beautiful!! What a lovely layout. Great colors, too!! (And if it's any consolation, I am constantly searching for something that was just *right there* . . . so I can relate. "Friends" is great, too!!)
