For the "lots of flowers" challenge. This turned out much better than I first thought! I wasn't sure about the colours (which are from a previous CC challenge), but they look so fresh and vibrant now that the card is all done!
I discovered that the center circle stamp from the One a Kind stamp set looks great stamped in the center of the Three for You flower punch! This is what I used to do my border around the card.
The big corner flower was created with watercolor resist: I embossed the flower in clear powder on watercolor paper and watercolored around it with inks and an Aquapainter. (This has to be one of my favorite techniques.)
