I made this for today's colour challenge and the Dirty Girls Challenge - use vellum.
Main card is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 Vanilla card stock, next is black. On the soft sky piece I stamped a script and sanded bg in soft sky. On the river rock section I stamped sanded, itty bitty bg and embrace life stems in river rock. Tore them in half and stitched around edge twice. My oval tabs are made of soft sky and vellum. I ran the vellum through the bug with script folder and place on top of the ss oval. Folded in half and sewed on the button. My flowers (two) were stamped with stazon jet black on white vellum. Embossed from behind with embossing tool. I coloured them with soft sky and a hint of night of navy and then cut out. I stamped the foliage in RR on vanilla. Matted with RR, SS and BB. Stitched on three corners. Attached the flowers with the large vanilla brad. I used a light blue ribbon and dyed it with soft sky. Tied around the flower panel. I Stamped the sentiment in stazon jet black and foliage in RR on a piece of left over vellum. punched out the circles. Added the eyelet and attached to the ribbon with small gold split ring.

Patricia, this is just gorgeous: Love those colors together for this design. Those buttons and free stitching is what great cards are all about. This happens to be one of those cards. Fabulous work, patricia!

Such a creative card here! Love how you did the bg papers, plus the ovals with the buttons, plus your stitching, plus your image is colored ever so nicely and the little bit of black. This is gorgeous! TFS :0)
