For this challenge I chose Oh Dahlia from Floppy Latte Designs. Jess has some amazing and very realistic floral images in the store and this is suitable for any occasion.

I coloured the image with Promarkers and Flexmarkers keeping to happy yellow and orange colours. I think I am inspired by the fantastic colours on the trees at the moment, I just adore Autumn J  I used a Nestabilities die to cut it out and create a pretty lacy border.

The paper is embossed from My Minds Eye Bloom & Grow pack, one of my favourites because of the colours and the simple flower and leaf shapes running through them. The border is from a free calendar and paper pack that came with a magazine in the same papers matted onto a scrap of orange card to provide definition.

My sentiment is a digi freebie from Raindrop Echo Designs. I adore butterflies and love the simplicity of the sentiment running through the body. I used a beaded trim from a floristry section of a craft store and snipped it to make the butterfly stamens. The sentiment has the wings folded back and the centre only is mounted on 3d foam. The large flower centre is embellished with a brown button and a shiny HOTP brad. The image below shows the details in close up.

In a rare move for me I resisted the urge to add anything else and called it done. This for me is a very CAS card, perhaps I am getting used to listening to the inner voice and not adding any extra bits that detract from the main image?
