I went with a simple design. Lots of white space with pops of the challenge colors.

I stamped the small flower/ leaf outline in black then filled in the color with the solid version of the image. This 2 step stamping method makes it easy to get pretty imaged right away. The images were then die cut. The circle is also die cut and I love the detail around the outside of the circle. 

I debated on putting the flowers and circle directly on the card base but the flowers didn't stand out enough. As you can see, I decide to add a layer of white CS but it looked to plain. My Take You Pick Tool came to the rescue! I scored some lines 1/8" part with the tool and my paper trimmer. A scoreboard works great, too, if you have one. Isn't it amazing how that one added detail makes such a difference in the overall design!

The circle is popped up on Dimensionals for some depth and allowed me to easily tuck the leaves under the edge. The flowers are on top of the circle and have a rhinestone in the center. I brought in more of the Hydrangea Hue with a few Dots as an accent.

I left plenty of space inside for a custom message. Since I had some flowers left over I added a leaf and one pink flower to the inside. It's always nice to bring in some part of the design on the front to the inside. It really makes a nice flow of design. Add something to the envelope, too.
