Funky Flowers Hello

Here's my card for the current Fusion challenge.  I combined the sketch with the colors and graphic look of the inspiration photo to create my card.

The flower in the pattern reminded me of the shape of one of the flowers in the Waltzingmouse Stamps Funky Flowers set, so I decided to make my own patterned paper using the flower stamp.  I stamped two different sized flower images repeatedly on a white panel in green pigment ink, then added the centers in contrasting yellow ink.  Unfortunately, when I added the sentiment panel, most of the smaller sized flowers got covered . . .

The "hello" sentiment comes from the Compact Sentiments set.  It's stamped in gray on a white panel.  I wrapped the bottom of the panel with yellow baker's twine, then added a die cut flower and leaves on top.  After matting the panel on green and yellow cardstock, I adhered it to the stamped panel using foam tape.  The finished panel was adhered to a coordinating green card base.  I thought about adding some sequins, but in the end, decided to leave the card as is.
