I based my card on a Waltzing Mouse sketch from a few weeks ago and white became my trim colour as well as the focal flower colour.
I started off using swiss dots on the flowers but they felt too "blah" so I ran them through my crimper for some extra dimension and liked the result. A bit of French Script on the side panel and a button with twine on the flower and I was good to go.
The rest of the Design Team has some fabulous cards for your inspiration.

Marisa this is so pretty. I Love that layered flower. It is gorgeous on this card.. Hope you are enjoying your summer days.
This is great. My fave detail? How you pulled the green into the card not only on the side panel but in the twine you tied the button with. Great job!
I enjoyed looking at the pictures of your children while camping. It looked like they had a ball, and what a great mom you are to give your children your time...time goes by sooooo quickly...we need to enjoy and savor these moments:)!! Your card is lovely...the colors, layout and your pretty flower...wonderful!! You've come back with great loveliness!! Thank you, too, Marisa for your sweet comments on my blog...hugs:)! Lisa

Oh my - I love that you crimped and dotted those flowers. Gorgeous! That is quite a bold color combo, but you've done it up beautifully =)
