Happiness always - Inspiration in Action weekend Sketch Challenge

This is my interpretation of Gretchen Barron's weekend sketch challenge.  I thought today I would use my punches to create an image rather than a stamp. Here's how I made the card:
Paper:  So Saffron, Rose Red, Sweet Pea designer paper, Whisper White, Certain Celery
Punches:  5 Petal Flower, BoHo Blossom, 1/2" circle punches, Eyelet border punch.
Inks:  Rose Red, So Saffron, Old Olive. Basic Black
Other:  Stampin' Dimensionals, Crystal Effects, Pink Satin ribbon, Dazzling diamonds glitter.
The leaves were made by folding a piece of Certain Celery cardstock in half and putting it through the Crimper at an angle.  The leaves were then cut freehand along the fold line.
