Today I decided to make a card using my Fabulous Flowers stamp set. I have seen so many beautiful cards made with that set, so I succumbed to the peer pressure and bought it. It has been waiting patiently for me to ink it up for the first time. Of course I always like some good inspiration to help me along, so I combined two challenges. The Verve color challenge plus 
today's sketch challenge 
equals this card...
I stamped the flower four times. Twice in Pumpkin Pie Craft ink, once in Old Olive Craft Ink, and once in So Saffron Craft ink. Then I embossed them with Clear Embossing Powder. I cut them out and adhered them on top of each other with dimensionals. The most difficult part was deciding which petals to leave on which layers. I took the Old Olive flower and cut it into several pieces and let it poke out around the edges of the Pumpkin Pie flower.
As you can see, I added lots of paper piercing. Especially on the main panel. 
I also added some texture by stamping the Rough Texture wheel in So Saffron ink. I used my Horizontal Slot Punch to punch the holes for the ribbon. The hole wasn't wide enough, so I punched it two times right next to each other (slightly overlapping the hole) so the ribbon would fit through.
I need to run. Only 13 days until I leave for convention and I have so much to do. Have a wonderful Wednesday and I'll see you tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by! ~Dannie
