It's my honor to host the Featured Stamper Challenge (FS715) & a big congrats to Marianne! She has a lovely gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the overall floral w/ the greeting on top, but I used different images & colors & instead of coloring the flowers, I colored the bg & bleached the flowers.
I started by sponging a white bg, with greens from the top down & pinks from the bottom up. When I'm using two opposite colors like this, I usually leave a very pale to mostly white area in the middle so I don't end up w/ an ugly color. After stamping the floral bg image on top, I used a tiny, synthetic paint brush & bleach to remove color from the flowers & few of the leaves. If you try this, make sure your brush is synthetic because bleach will totally destroy natural hair brushes. It was die cut twice, using the largest & next smaller stitched rectangle dies. The white half scallop layer was inserted in between, then attached to the card front. The 4 part layered rose was stamped w/ the same pink & green inks & die cut. The rose & greeting are popped up on fun foam.
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ closeups & links: The Write Stuff

Gorgeous card! Love the background with the colors and bleaching technique. The rose is lovely. Wonderful framing! Very nicely done with your case. TFS
This is so pretty, Julie! I love the green and pink, going from dark to light in the center! The tiny bleached flowers are such a pretty BG for the die cut rose! I also like how you inserted the scallops between the inner and outer BG panel!

Your card is just sunning Julie, and what a great CASE too. I especially love the colors and the sentiment you chose, in addition to the great flower. ~Karen.

Love your sponged background and the effect you achieved with the bleach technique! Your sentiment treatment is very striking!
