Reflecting Again

I have another birthday card today. It fits two challenges: Gina K. Designs January Monthly Mix - Let's Reflect, and Mod Squad - Patterned Paper Play.

For the Let's Reflect challenge, we are to take a card from last year, and give it a makeover. I chose this card, and used the same stamp set for the background.

The Patterned Paper Play challenge asked us to make our own patterned paper. Here is my new card.

I decided to leave the background in one piece, instead of cutting it into three panels. I used different colours for the flowers, but otherwise the background is pretty much the same. I coloured the edge of the piece that I used for the mat with the darkest marker that I used for the flower. I did the same thing on the mat for the sentiment. 

I found the beautiful bow among my ribbon collection, and added it near the bottom. I used foam squares to adhere the sentiment, and then added Nuvo Crystal Drops to the middle of the flowers.

Here are the supplies I used:

Gina K. Designs: Where Flowers Bloom stamp set
                            Rose Peonies stamp set (sentiment)
                            Jet Black Amalgam ink
