Thinking of you - Mojo Monday Challenge

It's so cold today I can hardly get my gray matter to work.  But I did come up with this card for the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge.
My intent was to distress this card with the use of heavy sponging, so all the edges were sponged with Soft Suede.
Stamps: A Slice of Life, Nature Walk, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Inks: Basic Black, Marina Mist , So Saffron, Concord Crush, Pumpkin Pie markers, Versa Mark, Soft Suede
Papers: Whisper White, Vellum, Very Vanilla, Soft Suede, Walk in the Park Designer Paper,Sweet Stitches Designer Paper (on the vase)
Accessories: Square Lattice Embossing Folder, 2 1/2" circle punch, Circle die, Black embossing powder, Work Label Punch, Modern work label punch, Daffodil delight pom poms, 1/8" daffodil delight ribbon
The image was stamped on both whisper white and designer paper.  The vase was cut out of the designer paper and glued to the stamped image.  The flowers were coloured with markers and a bit of dazzling diamonds was placed in the center of each.
The butterfly, from the Nature Walk stamp set was stamped on vellum with versa mark and embossed with black embossing powder.  The butterfly was then coloured on the reverse side with markers.  After cutting the image out, it was applied to the card with a glue dot.
