Extraordinary Flora Card ~ Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge 679

Welcome to Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #679! Every Monday we give you a new sketch to get you started. I'm on Team A and we do the ODD numbered sketches. 

When you use our sketch you can do whatever you want with it. Turn, flip, flop, alter the shapes, etc. Whatever strikes your fancy. We just need to be able to see the sketch in your design, so have fun!

For my card I did change the card size from square to an A2 size (4-1/4" x 5-1/2"). Another change I made is to make the banner detail out of flowers instead of pennants. But even with these changes the sketch is still obvious in my design.

The flowers were die cut from the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape and the coordinating die. I picked my colors from those I saw in the Washi flowers. 

I placed the flowers in a curve and popped up the largest one in the center so I could tuck other pieces underneath. This gives a nice dimension to the design. I also tucked a flower at the bottom to replace the little banner in the sketch. 

Did you notice the envelope? Since I had so many flowers die cut I used some to decorate the envelope, too. Glue down the flowers well on the envelope so they don't catch on other pieces of mail.

This is the inside of the card. I had this pieces of white CS on my desk and felt it would be a good size for the inside. It left me a nice space on the right to add some more flowers! Don't forget to decorate the inside, too!
