This is this weeks CAS112 "Cut Up Sentiment" challenge card combined with TLC306 "Paint with Stickles" challenge from January. Painting with Stickles is really fun, but you have to have patience to just put your image aside and let dry overnoc or for several hours. I made my image in January, so no problem with the drying issue :-) This card is also for the WT316 challenge to use flowers. The main image and EB background both have floral images and are a bit different than your normal floral designs.
I always forget about cutting up my sentiments and yet it is often the perfect solution for minimal space or using different colors, which I did both on this pretty, but simple card.
Thanks Joan, Jen and Kim for making me think outside my comfortable creative box. Enjoy and TFL...

What a lovely card! So crisp and pretty. The dry embossing is so deep and rich. The stickles painting really makes the image pop. And I really like the belt-like ribbon slide.
