Since I was the baby and only girl among the siblings, my dad always said I was the "Flower" of the family. In my teen years, my older brother said that was because I was a "bloomin' idiot!" lol Whatever the reason, I used that phrase as the sentiment on this card which features an image from All Dressed Up.
This one is colored with a combo of polychromos pencils and ProMarkers, then cut with an Unbranded die. I matted the die cut image piece with light blue CS and trimmed the corners. I mounted that onto dark blue CS and put that onto a kraft card base.
I dug through my stash of ribbon and found two, matching-in-color, ribbons from completely different companies. I used one to wrap the card front and the other to make a 'ruched' bow to which I added a row of pearls.
I printed the sentiment, hand cut it, then matted it with a scrap of kraft CS. I added that to the bottom of the dark blue CS.

I was inspired by the colors at House of Cards.

Ahh! That is sweet and you are a blooming flower! So there brother!! I love the bottles with the flowers and you colored it perfectly! I love the whole design of your card!
Love that sentiment and your very beautiful card.
I'll own that sentiment too. I was also the flower in amongst my 4 brothers, but I was never referred to as that LOL.
