Make the Cards Challenge - Guest Designer

Dear Ones~

I have been invited once again to be a Guest Designer over at Make the Cards Challenge. I am so honored.
This is a fun challenge blog that changes every week, and there is always something new or different to create.  Our challenge this week is a sketch, and here it is:
 
And here is my card:
I love this sketch, it lends itself so well to using different patterned papers, which is my "thing". For the background I stamped the purple card stock with a GKD background stamp called Petite Flourish in Versamark Ink and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder for a tone on tone look. That FABULOUS cone flower die set is from Honey Bee Stamps and is in VERY high demand. It keeps being sold out, so I was really happy to snag it. A little die cutting, a little shading with ink and sponge, and you have a gorgeous creation!!!

Here are the Ingredients:
Recollections Very Violet Card Stock
GKD White, Grass Green and Fresh Asparagus Card Stock
GKD Petite Flourish Background Stamp 
GKD Clear Embossing Powder
Recollections Petite Floral Patterned Papers
Spellbinder Scalloped Circle die
Honey Bee Lovely Layers Coneflower Die Set
GKD Fresh Asparagus and Wild Lilac Ink
SU Meadow Die for Greeting
GKD Fanciful Tags Stamp for Greeting 
GKD White Detail Embossing Powder for Greeting
