Today's is such a great sketch and yesterday's a great color combo, that I wanted to use them together. It all started yesterday when I happened to go into Mike's and saw this dp. Hmmm, looks kinda like the color challenge; 4 for a dollar; I believe it wants to live at my house. Found the ribbon there, too, just bought the white because I couldn't figure out what color I needed. So, I took the markers and kind of did bands of color on it.
The rest of the card is pretty easy to figure out; just a lot of layers. The dots are glaze and/or souffle pens. The center panel is on foam tape (twice) and so is the flower.
You'd think I could have finished this hours ago. Au contraire. Let me explain. I stayed up late to see what Roxie would post for today's sketch. Got a plan. I get up this am and think, geez, if I don't feed the birds (maybe just turn on the cartoons to keep them quiet), don't make the bed, etc, I can get this out pretty quick. But then I realize, the birds will tell on me. (We have two parrots.) I can maybe talk my way past Odie because he lies all the time. But Linus will be a problem. He tells the truth. So, ok I'll feed them and turn on the cartoons. (Linus really gets upset if he can't watch cartoons.).
After that, I think, as long as I'm doing this, I'll make the bed. And brush my hair. And feed the squirrels outside so they won't get into the bird feeder. Uh oh, feeder's empty. Fill the feeder and feed the squirrels. Half the morning's gone, I should probably eat some cereal. Anyway, things just kept popping up. Long story short, an hour card took most of the day. Hope everyone's day was a little more productive than mine. TFL

Your funny day paid off- this is just gorgeous. I love the two colors for the flower and flourish and the marking on the ribbon is inspired. Very pretty card.
