Congratulations Nikki on being this weeks featured stamper.. I enjoyed looking at all your beautiful works of art... I cased THIS beautiful card. I kept the same flower and a similar layout. Matted my dp in black and used a black ribbon. I used Michelle Zindorf's technique - here. This qualifies for last weeks limited supplies - use buttons and or bows and also for this months Fan Club theme - anything that grows. I used Our Creative corners sketch challenge sketch for my layout.
I versamark inked the stamp first and then stamped it in Versafine black ink = stamped it onto whisper white card stock and then clear embossed. Coloured image with markers, masked image and sponged on blush blossom, really rust and chocolate chip. Stamped on the Baroque Motif in sage shadow. Cut out image with oval nestability and matted with scalloped oval. Stamped sentiment from Inspired by Natured on DP. Cut out with oval nestability and matted with scalloped oval. Used the Divine Swirls folder on the Main Dp panel. Sewed all edges. Made my ribbon and button embellishment and sewed it on. Finished the inside of my card

You did an outstanding job on this one. The colors, design and textures all work together and complement each other.
