Rose Gold Birthday Blooms

Here's my card for the current Fusion challenge.  I combined the sketch with the color scheme and floral elements of the inspiration photo for this birthday design.

I loved the pretty pinky-salmon-peach shade of the flowers in the inspiration photo.  To bring that in to my design, I die cut a pair of flowers from the closest shade of cardstock I had in my stash.  I stamped the coordinating image from Papertrey Ink's Beautiful Blooms II stamp set on the flowers in watermark ink, then embossed the image with rose gold embossing powder.  So pretty!  The flowers were adhered to a kraft panel using foam tape. I did more rose gold embossing on the fishtail flag strip with the birthday sentiment.  After adding it on top of the flowers, I accented the panel with a pair of coppery sequins.  The kraft panel was edged with a narrow strip of cardstock matching the flowers, then adhered to a gray card base.
