I'm using the fabulous Altenew Layered Anemones on my birthday card and I've grounded it with the Birch Press Linear Triangle cut from gold mirror card.  This sheet of green card stock was a lucky find while rooting around in a corner of my craft room I hadn't explored for a while!   It was smooth enough to stamp  the sentiment and even emboss with gold embossing powder but has a lovely brushwork texture!  

I have been meaning for some time now to try using vellum for one of the layers of this gorgeous bloom having seen it used on similar layered blooms on Pinterest.  The trick is to use foam tape to elevate it above the base layer.   It was tricky adding enough for support and ensuring it wasn't visible but worth the effort I think!

The Flower Challenge #88 suggested adding a heart so I added a tiny one to the top bloom on the vellum - a little heart shaped dew drop!  I tried adding one on the other bloom but it started looking like a wedding card yet didn't look balanced without it - so I added another off to the side of this bloom! 

I'd also like to join these other fab challenges
