Lili of the Valley Challenge #53 is a sketch by Bev Rochester. I have tweaked a couple of items: replacing the sentiment with a row of gems & lowering  the 3 elements represented by black spots in the sketch onto the band below - in  my case 3 small gems placed onto the daisy ribbon. Colour Create's Challenge #45 is Soft Green & Light Aqua (see photo inspiration) with an optional element of butterflies.

 

The Stamp Something Challenge is celebrating its second anniversary so requires 2 of something for their challenge this week - I have: 2 rows of gems; 2 shades of aqua for my handmade flowers; used 2 colours of Distress Inks; cut my stamped image into 2, 2 butterflies (one on each of the patterned papers - click on photos to view more closely); & 2 pearlescent papers. My "Out of the Box" elements for Pile It On Challenge #20 are my tweakings of the sketch - in particular that I do not use a sentiment, & that I have used one half of my image for the front & the other half inside the card.
