Well, I started this card in the wee morning hours after the challenge was posted, and now have finished after returning from work!
This is the first time I have used my Rich Razzleberry, and I am so loving it paired with Orchid Opulence!!! That is one color I hardle EVER use and now I can see it will be used a lot!!
Since Wendy limited our stamping to either a sentiment or making our own BG dsp, I opted to use the sentiment. Again, I pulled out my new all-time fave: Teeny Tiny Wishes!!
And, since I finally got my first order in from the new catty, I had to play with new toys!!! Now, I know the M & S die has been out for awhile, but I have drug my feet about getting it, basically becasue I wasn't sure how to really use it! Well, I recently spent time at a fellow SCSer's house and saw how they worked! Thanks Debra!! So now I have it and the newest additions too!
I used the curly label die to create my window and the modern label die to back my punched piece. Since we were limited on the number of stamps we could use, I punched three flowers from WW with the Trio Flower punch and made a bouquet. And how about that butterfly punch!!!!!! LOVE IT!!! As you can see, the butterfly is going for the flowers.
The rest is pretty obvious, except I used thin strips of WW through the button holes. (Not fun, but I do like the result!)

I NEVER used my Orchid Opulence until Razzleberry came out! LOVE how rich they look together (and Teeny Tiny Wishes is a new fave of mine as well!)! Very nicely done!

Oh, Ann, this is drop dead gorgeous with those colors and that design. You've done a stellar job with using your new and not so new stuff. The ribbon is wonderful and really puts a great finishing touch on an already wonderful card. Great work, girl!
