I am late today, I had a friend drop in for coffee, but it is always nice to have a good morning chit chat with a friend.
The F4A challenge today is to use Emerald and Sapphire colours on our cards and the MIX challenge is about texture. I mixed the ink with water and applied to the stencil and once dry with the stencil still in place I sprayed with glimmer mist, which never seems to show in the picture. I added the Wild Orchid flowers, florists wire and stuck in strands of cheesecloth as a ribbon does not seem to fit in my humble opinion. And, so typical of me, I added a few sequins and Bo-Bunny gems to finish up. Thanks for looking ...

What a beautiful flower arrangement. I think we all understand about glimmer and shimmer not showing - so we can equally well all imagine just how much more pretty it is.

Super idea to add bits of cheese cloth to your floral arrangement... it looks great. As a "bow challenged" crafter, I will have to remember your idea. The inked stenciled bg looks wonderful and really works well with these colors. I am so glad that you had some time left to make a card for this challenge.
