Go to Your Happy Place

This week’s Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge is a Trend Watch challenge featuring flowers.  I don't have many floral Paper Smooches sets, so I turned to the flower embellished tropical drink image from the Get Outta Town set--and this week's Mojo Monday sketch--for my card.

I colored the drink image with Spectrum Noir markers, then added a sparkly pink gem to the center of the flower for a little sparkle.  The colored image is set over a pair of panels, one a soft, solid pink cardstock and the other a fun dotted green patterned paper.  A strip of bright pink faux suede ribbon extends out from underneath each side of the image panel, adding a nice texture to the design.  The panels are arranged on a piece of pretty floral paper.  Once I had all the pieces in place, I stamped the "go to your happy place" sentiment on the bottom of the dotted panel.  I accented the image with a pink button tied with pink baker's twine.
