Bellariffc sketch challenge #8

Hi everyone.  Hope you had a good week.  Temperatures has been warming up quite a bit this week - we hit 20 C or 68F yesterday, but looks like back down to single digits for the weekend and even a chance of snow on Saturday!!!

For our bellariffic challenge this week, we had a sketch to follow.  Here is the sketch

I'm still working on lots of card orders, so thought this one could serve as my post for this weeks challenge as well as a birthday card.  You know how much I love anything floral, so I pulled out jar of wildflowers to colour this week. 

I stamped the flowers on bella's bestest paper and then coloured with copics.  After cutting it out using a s/binder circle die I left the die in place and sponged some distress antique linen around the edges.

For the next layer I used a new s/binder die set that was just begging to be used (lol), this set is called Adorning Squares.  I cut a 4x4 piece for dp, then cut and embossed one of the dies on it.  I then layered a piece of dark brown behind it so it would make the intricate design pop. 

Designer paper is Kaisercraft - Lil' Primrose.  I finished off with some yellow/orange seam binding ribbon, glitter, glossy accents for the centers of the flowers, and some taupe pearls.
