Joan, picked an amazing technique to "remind" us about today-Paper Piecing. I stamped the magnolia image from Mark's Finest Papers set called "MOTHER'S MAGNOLIAS" I stamped it a total of 4 times, on 3 different scraps of coordinating pink dp. I left two flowers as the base. The other two flowers I cut apart every petal. I then glued them everyother one on the base flowers. I popped the centers of the flowers up with craft foam. The base for my card was done doing a technique that Joan shared almost 2 years ago -Pounded Flowers. I altered her technique a little by dry embossing the pounded flowers cardstock after it dried. I really like how the sentiment (from Inspired Stamps) looks on this card. I stamped the sentiment on a triangle scrap of white cardstock. I had intended to cut it and make it rectangle. I set it down on top of the base to reach for my scissors, and I decided I liked the triangle look so I left it as it was. I finished the card by stitching the panels down and adding want2scrap bling. I love their bling so much!

Wow, the dimension that you achieved with the different pink papers is fantastic! Great layout choice (glad you kept the triangle), love the texture and bling flourish too. Wonderful card.
