Yet the drawing power of the garden is evident by the frequency I am drawn there- just to look/see
The card was made for the sketch challenge at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #452, the theme for which was "flower power"

The A2 Terracotta Tile card base is layered with Whisper White embossed with the 3D Ornate Floral Embossing Folder. A piece of Ornate Garden DSP (multiple terracotta, pink/white flowers) is added on the bottom quarter.
Flowers adhered to die cuts are added to the card front alternating above and below the edge of the DSP.
Flowers:
The small blossom punch was used to punch Whisper White flowers (2 for each flower) the petals of which were inked with Terracotta Ink, spritzed with alcohol, crumpled and allowed to dry partially. After partially uncrumpling them more there were allowed to dry before shaping them a bit.
Two petals were also punched using the Petal punch. Old Olive was used to colour these leaves and they were treated the same as the flowers. The leaves were snipped off the stem to form individual leaves.
To make a flower, two completed flowers were adhered together alternating petals. Two leaves were adhered to the bottom of each flower.
Each flower was adhered to a die cut Terracotta Ornate Frame which was adhered to the card front at the edge of the DSP.
Sentiment:
The sentiment, from Another Thank You, is stamped on Whisper White card stock, in Old Olive ink, then die cut with an Ornate Frame Die.
Another larger, more ornate frame, is die cut in Terracotta Tile card stock, and the Whisper White die cut is adhered to the larger one using dimensionals.
This is then added,centered,to the top half of the card front.
A ribbon, made with a 3/8" Old Olive ribbon (which is part of the Ornate Garden bundle) is added at the bottom of the sentiment.
To finish, some Crystal Effects was added to the flowers, and while it was wet, some Dazzling Diamonds was lightly dusted over the flowers.
Three Gilded Gems were added to the upper right.
