This is for the limited supplies challenge today. We had to use knots.
This is a little bigger than I originally intended, but I think it came out ok.
I just love sage these days, so I started with sage shadow. I wanted to give it some texture so I used pretty petals bg stamp on it, I used apricot appeal as my color. So it looked so nice I decided to use A.A. as my next color. I found a scrap piece (hence the thickness of the panels) I stamped the pretty petals in A.A. It looked fab. But I knew I wanted to panels, because I knew I was going to add the circle and ribbons up top, so I split the piece in half. It is a little over 1-1/4 on each a.a. panel. The Rose red is 1/4 inch bigger.
So it just so happened, I had some ribbon, that if you didn't know better, you'd think it was SU rose red, but it is some generic ribbon from somewhere. I added it at the top and bottom.
So I was looking at the flowers from pretty petals, and I noticed that the flower from pretty amazing was very similar. I needed more apricot, so I stamped it in apricot and cut it out. It seems it needed more color, so I grabbed my pretty petals, and took one of the flowers from it, and stamped it in rose red and cut it out. I stamped the butterfly on apricot in rose red.
After I used my circle punches, I layered rose red, sage shadow, then popped up my apricot flower. Then I popped up the rose red flower. I added the butterfly, and popped it up right on the main flower.
I wasn't sure how this card would come out, but I really like the end result. What do you think?

Dara, I LOVE this one! All your hard work really payed off! Love all the popped up layers of the flower and the circles so highlight them so well. The colors are soooo great! That ribbon really pops too... love that it so perfectly matches the matting! This is one awesome card!
