The Flower Challenge - Reminder #105

Besides the usual stickles, sequins, enamel dots, and an occasional button, I seldom 'embellish' my cards much.  But THIS card made in 2015 kept coming to mind and I couldn't help but remake it for my reminder at The Flower Challenge #105.

I've used the same background stamp from MFT: Roses All Over which was white heat-embossed onto clear heat-resistant acetate.
But here are the differences: I added lots of glamour with the glitter card panel which you are able to see through the acetate cover, and the ribbon found in 
my stash - a very old collection from Dear Lizzy:



You'll look beyond my reflection - there is nothing but creamy white and glitter here.
Okay, okay - there is one of those Betterpress-ed sentiments using Altenew Sicilian Amber ink.

Of course, we've been loving how you have embellished your floral cards - you have time to make another!  There is plenty more inspiration from our TFC team HERE!

  14. Oh, my, what a beauty! I took a look at your blast from the past, too. Another gorgeous card with a timeless stamp. I love the updated version even more, partly because it's so easy to slip into an envelope and mail. The sparkle on this elegant card is spectacular!

  15. A photographic challenge for sure, but worth it my friend... I think we could both employ Tom to be our official photographer, we could pay him in cards lol.

  22. This is simply stunning Michele! I don't normally go much further than enamel dots but this month's challenge reminder inspired me to have a second go too - and I went overboard with tiny pearls for a change lol!
