Challenge 85 at Crafty Cardmakers - Blooming Images

Afternoon All
I hope that you have been having the same glorious sunshine that we have been experiencing here.
What a perfect day to launch a new challenge at Crafty Cardmakers, where  Marie (MI) has chosen the theme 'Blooming Images'. 
She would like flower images to be the main focus of the card. No people, no landscapes. Just flower images. A single rose, a poinsettia, a daisy... you get it. Can be flowers in a vase or just the flowers. Of course you can still decorate with flowers, butterflies or what you feel like, but the image is a flower of some kind, NOT a tree and NOT a person holding a flower' 
We are sponsored this time by CRAFTS AND ME with the choice of 3 digital stamps from their range, and also a fabulous die set from a mystery donor. (Check out HERE for more details)

 For my card I have been playing with one of Jane Gill's fantastic stamp sets JGCL572 Daisy Layers.

I did a spot of masking on the central circular panel along with some Faux Stitching.

 My colour scheme was taken from the Photo Inkspiration over at Inkspirational.

I stamped and embossed my flowers onto watercolour card and coloured them using Distress inks.

I added a little bit of sparkle by colouring over the top of the Distress ink with some Gelly Roll Sparkle pens.

 Unfortunately it doesn't show up terribly well in the photos.

I added some extra flowers and leaves attached using silicon, to add a little bit of dimension to the card.
The background papers are from my stash, as are the gems at the centre of the flowers.
I am entering this into the following challenges
Stamp and Create - Spring is coming

I hope that you have had a good day and that you will feel inspired to enter our challenge HERE.
Don't forget to check out the rest of the DT, they have made some fantastic cards.
