I started by stamping and embossing the flowers from Dream Big in tangerine tango onto patterned paper. The smaller blooms are cut with the coordinating Scalloped Flowers Die Set and I hand cut the larger flower. The three flowers are layered on dimensionals and accented with a big rhinestone. The leaves are stamped tone on tone in smoky slate and cut with the Dreamy Leaves Die Set.
For the sentiment panel, I scraped a bit of white gesso across a smoky slate card stock piece, then distressed with vintage photo distress ink. I added some star pearls down the side, then layered three pieces of twill behind on some starry paper. A bunch of distressed edges and I was done.
In other news, I have another card on the Verve Blog today, for the kickoff to the Summer Coffee Lover's Blog Hop. It uses the free limited time digi set, Three Cheers. There's also a 20% off code for the Verve store, so be sure to head on over and check out what I'm sharing today. Here's a little peek...

Julee, your distressed edges are killing me with their luscious ruggedness! Then the textile ribbon and enamely orange flower... this is a fave. Then, of course, I love your patriotic card.
