You're Bloomin' Fabulous!

It's Day 2 of Our Craft Lounge's sneak peeks, and today I am sharing a card made with Pretty Petals, along with a sentiment from another new set, Say it with Flowers, which will be available along with the rest of the sets in this release tomorrow at i {heart} papers.  I used the out-of-the-box technique and Basic Grey's Green at Heart designer paper, whose bright colors are really speaking to me lately.  I feather-stroked with my Copics in both hot pink and orange to color the flower petals.  I used warm grays to add a bit of shadow, but also used cool grays to color the dots of that cute little lady bug!

That velvet corduroy ribbon has such wonderful rich color and texture...it is a little thick to tie into a traditional bow, so I added a button tied with jute instead.  The sentiment, cut with a nesties tag, is held in place with two glazed brads, one of which runs right through the hole made by the MS scallop punch.
