I love the sentiments in the new favorite thoughts set and combined it with Flower Fancy for this card using the stamping411 sketch number 146.
I stamped the image onto whisper white, then re-stamped it using stazon onto vellum. Using my stylus I stretched the vellum behind the flowers and leaves. Once they were stretched enough, I gave them a quick shot of color behind the vellum using my markers.
I colored the flowers on the whisper white using Orchid Opulence, summer sun for the middle and Old Olive for the leaves.
I cut around the vellum leaves and flowers and laid them down over the whisper white flowers. this gave a little more dimension and pop to the leaves and flowers.
I stamped the sentiment in Elegant Eggplant and finished it off with a little So Saffron striped ribbon.
To add a little pizzazz to the basic Elegant Eggplant base, I used some SmoochSpritz to add punches of gold.

I love the vellum technique you have used on this gorgeous card (and on your bridal card). I can see on the photo how the petals and leaves just curve outwards - they look so delicate, too.
