I really enjoyed making this because it was rather 'unexpected.' I had no plan to use this set of dots, circles and swirls, all I planned was the brayering of the two colors for yesterday's CC. Old Olive on the bottom and a combo of old olive and misty moonlight on the top (because I got a little old olive up there!) I love the two colors combined. The sentiment has some misty moonlight brushed on lightly. My extra color is the gold embossing.
When it came to me that I could make flowers out of the dots, I used an embossing pen to make the stems. Fitting this into the SC for today was easy and I like easy when it comes to sketches.
Finally, as I said, making flowers out of the stamps was 'unexpected', which is the ABC16U word for the week. Some iridescent sequins and white paint pen finish off the dots. I hope Sharon likes this. It certainly turned out more elegantly than I had thought it would.

It s gorgeous. Those circles and designs make fabulous flowers. How creative that you were able to discern that after doing the stamping. Fabulous card. I agree, it's very elegant.

It's beautiful. The brayered background is both soft and rich at the same time. Adding stems to the dotted designs was a great idea, they make beautiful abstract flowers. I feel I've seen some like that from Penny Black.
