This card is for my niece, who had some serious surgery several weeks ago, to let her know I'm thinking about her and sending prayers her way. With a little browsing before getting started, my card fits into several SCS challenges listed below:
#2. DD9ABC15O - Alphabet Challenge/ Color letter O = Olivine. A Google search revealed that Olivine is a mineral with its typical color being olive-green. Peridot is its translucent form and is my birth month gemstone. The bonus challenge is to overlap. I used Old Olive paper and overlapped my die-cut leaves and flowers. If overlapping includes layering overlaps...then there's lots of that going on too!
#3. CT0518 - Central Theme for the May Dirty Dozen theme of Mother May I? The interpretations I am using are: 1) create a card that reminds you of your mother...this card could well be a Mother's Day card for my Mom; 2) show us your May flowers; and 3) try something new...I took a kit and used its parts and revamped its original design.
#4. DINSP0518 - Dirty Dozen May Themes = Inspiration photo. Used its colors for my card.
#5. USEIT2018 - ongoing...use materials/ tools that are gathering dust from unuse...new/ never been used OR old! My Leaf punch has never been used and my Boho Blossom punch is very old and retired and not been used in several years...I do like this punch!

What a truly stunning card this is Carlene! I adore this color combination and it is not one I would have thought of on my own. The photo corners draw your eye right to this wonderful slatted die with gorgeous flowers. The hint of sparkle in one of the layers is just fantastic and so is your curvy sentiment banner. I truly hope your niece makes a full and complete recovery.
