We were to emboss part of a quarter sheet of light neutral cardstock, which I did with the Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder. Then wait for further instructions. The next day, Kimm told us we had to stamp one sentiment on the sheet, cut 1/4 off each side, layer it on a neutral dark cardstock, and add 3 embellishments, brads, ribbons, rhinestones, etc.
Here is my card:

I used Very Vanilla and Chocolate Chip cardstock (no surprise there) and used the debossed side
of the embossed layer. I added Barely Banana brads to the centers of three of the flowers, and used the sentiment from Elements of Style.
Now here is my card after I put some color on it with my Pretty in Pink and Certainly Celery Markers, cuz I couldn't stand it the other way:

I'm still not in love with it, but I do like it better. So much for my challenge, I just couldn't leave it alone.
Thanks for dropping by today. Have a fantastic Tuesday!
I think they are both lovely!
