I used this week's Viva La Verve sketch and pulled out some Lime Twist MME papers that had some of the colours in the photo. Don't have to ask me twice to use a flower on a card wink, wink, so I gladly used some of my favorite Verve stamps: Dream Big, Bloom and Grow, Make A Statement along with the following dies: Elegant Leaves and Scalloped Flowers. Since my supply of fuchsia coloured paper is basically non-existent, I supplemented with some fuchsia buttons and added a seam binding bow using Verve's Summer Sailing seam binding set.

Hey Marisa, a floral challenge is something you could do using only your pinky! Fun challenge and fun card. Love the paper and all the fun details. I have missed you - life can so get in the way but things are settling down and should be back to normal after the wedding in two weeks. Hugz - lots of them!

Beautiful card, Marisa! Love that paper and wish I had some in my stash. I am amazed that I haven't thought to use that flower die without stamping. Honestly, I thought it was a new Verve die...silly me. Really love your card!
