Flowers Feed the Soul

Well, here I am again with another card.  Next week I will be having a sale of my cards, so hopefully that will be successful.  That is one of the reasons that I have been so diligently making cards. I apologize that the colours of this card don't show up as well as they could.  I had to photograph it at night in order to get some of the challenges posted

Anyway, this card was made for 6 different challenges.  They are:
1) The One Stop Craft Challenge # 134 - http://onestopcraftchallenge.blogspot.com/ - The theme for this week was texture and I added texture in several ways.  I embossed the green and the pink sections of the front of the card.  The white center section was already an embossed paper.  In addition, the pink paper I used for the vase is also embossed.  Finally, the flowers being 3D provided another level of texture.
2) Stampin' Sisters in Christ # 91 - http://stampinsistersinchrist.blogspot.com/ - This week we were required to use some "new" on our card.  My new items are the carnation die from spellbinders and the vase sticker.  Both of these were purchased just this week.  How fortuitous!
3) The Dutch Dare Card Challenge # 115 - http://dutchdare-cardchallenges.blogspot.com - This was a photo inspiration and I used the colours and the flowers in the photo as the inspiration for my card
4) Play Date Cafe Challenge # 84 - http://theplaydatecafe.blogspot.com/ - This was also a photo inspiration and oddly, the colours were very similar to the previous challenge.  So, that was my inspiration
5) Truly Scrupmtious # 58 - http://trulyscrumptiouschallenges.blogspot.com/ - The theme was "Summer Sparkle" and I used summery colours and some bling with the lovely vase sticker.
