I had an incredible time creating this card for this week's cc; I used a Stampendous flower stamp for the main image, and I used the bleaching technique on the flower (I am really pleased with the results). I also used a Stampendous flourish stamp for the background image, and for all the tags, I used the paisley stamp from the "Wanted" set.

Really gorgeous card!!! I am really curious to try the bleaching technique - it really makes your flower pop! Love your layout and your gorgeous ribbon - and your hardware!! Great take on the challenge!

the bleached flower looks terrific! I love that technique too - you never know quite what color you'll come out with! Love the tag with the metal pieces - great design!

Lovely card! I like how you positioned the hardware on the tag with the tag turned a bit, it's eye catching; the paisley also makes a great background stamp.
