Whew, this challenge really sent me into orbit a bit. I'm sure everyone else thought of an easier way to do this sketch challenge; but, as usual, I take the long, hard road. It didn't turn out as well as I had hoped, but it is what it is. I'm still struggling a bit with the new in colors too, so that might have been part of the problem.
Here's the link to the Midnight Madness Challenge - they have great sketch challenges and prizes and I really enjoy doing these:
I used the new SU dsp (Cottage Walls) and mixed it with the stamp set Garden Greetings. You may not be able to tell, but I paper pieced the flower with some of the dsp and then filled it in with Crystal Effects to give it a real shiny look. I then doubled it up on dimensionals. I used the swiss dots ef on behind the image, swirls ef on the square scallop nestie frame and added flowers, bling and leaves.
Thanks so much for taking the time to look and let me know what you think if you have a second.

Poor Pam...she just can't make a card but she can sure stir up trouble. I see you got Anne and Debi going at each other. Too funny. I just love all this fun.
You card is outstanding. The flower is a wowzer and the colors are scrumptious. Love that dotted swiss behind your flower.

Oh, what a lot of work, but well worth it, Girlfriend! This is gorgeous. So regal and stunning in purple. You are the ace of these challenges and never forget it!
I see now where you lost your marbles. That debzi! She and Anne sure to crack me up. What in the world have you been doing to stir up trouble now? I left off at the nuclear war ship stealthing toward Anne's house. I shudder to think what you are planning this time ...
Great, great card, Pam! You always rock it up! And I'm not sure how you are able to play in so many challenges ... you go, girl!
