I've made white-on-white floral cards before, but the colours in this Christian Dior scarf really inspired me this morning. Just had to wait till we got back from our trip out to have time to rummage through my scrap bag for colours.
It's a non-standard size - since I have to make an envelope anyway, I took the size of the lattice ef for my main layer to give me the biggest possible canvas, and matted out from there.
I used a small flower punch, a stamen punch, Tattered Florals and Spellbinders Rose Creations and Foliage.
I laid some on the base and embossed them with the Square Lattice ef, and then shaped some of the other flowers and leaves and just built the card up. I added white and pale green pearls to the centres of all the flowers.
Possibly I'll add an oval sentiment when I know what this will be used for.

I'm so glad I came back to this b/c at first I was getting the dreaded red x. This is well worth waiting for. So beautiful. Love the embedded embossing and all the bright flowers. Love this.
