Today, I'm sharing a card that I made yesterday-- I was in need of a bit of sunshine after a difficult day and this card just about did the trick. I made it for two challenges: this week's Make It Monday at Papertrey Ink: layered embossing and for a new challenge called Muse-- it's for their first challenge.
So, I was inspired by Amy's card (for the Muse Challenge) to include sunny yellow flowers on a white background. I diecut my Notched flowers dies and stamped, using my PTI Funky Florals set, the inside stamen in versamark and then heat embossed it with white embossing powder. Then I stamped the petals in versamark and heat embossed them in clear embossing powder. I diecut my leaves using a turning a new leaf die and stamped them with versamark, using PTI's new Embroidered Blooms.
I stamped the sentiment from Embroidered Blooms and then ran the white cardstock through my Big Shot with my Simple Stripes IP from PTI. I layered this on some lemon tart cardstock & added some stitching before adding my blooms and leaves.
Thanks for looking!

This is so pretty Leigh! I think that your card is the first one that I have seen that is making me regret not being able to get the free Funky Florals set. Love the yellow, white and green. Sure to bring sunshine to anyone's day.
