Creative Embellishments September Challenge

Hello, hello!
A little personal creative time is way past due, don't you think?

Today I'm playing along with the Creative Embellishments September Challenge which can be found Right Here!  I decided to create a much needed card for my card stash.

Here is the inspiration photo. Initially, I thought I'd create something with numbers and letters in mind but the color palette was too good to resist!! So .. away I went. 

Above is a collage of all the Creative Embellishments products used: 

Foliage 18 chipboard

 Circle Bokeh Stamp

Distressed Crackle Stamp

Life 3x4 Wood Veneer

and 

Seasons Change Flair

Just another quick look at the card. I've used some Blue Fern Studios Chesterville paper that I thought would be perfect for this inspiration photo palette. I used 4 different papers for my foundation. Then I used the CE wood veneer grounded (on a Prima doily die cut) as my anchor. Since it was light in color, I used some gelatoes to age it.

Here are a few of the yummy Prima flowers used to accent to card.  And of course, the oh so-perfect-for-Fall CE flair button.

My Creative Embellishments chipboard flourish was painted with Distress paint and then ink with the same color. In the end, I dabbed some Stickles on it for a little shine.

Swooning here because I have a thing for polka dot flowers! But seriously, I included this shot because much of my stamping (which is the twist) got hidden  under the wood veneer and the florals. However, you can see it here I you look closely.

I added some more florals on the upper right side to balance the card.

And there you have it ... a finished card!
And a challenge entry!
I'm glad I played as I wouldn't normally put these colors together but they look great!

Thanks for coming by!
