Color Dare #654 "Thanks"

This is my Design Team card for Color Dare #654, wherein you had to use Black and Pink + one more color and I chose green.  Love Story Paperpack has a lot of black and white patterned papers so selected two and diagonally cut both and adhered to black cardstock and then to white cardbase.  

This packet also had a lot of stickers for coloring and I chose this beautiful flower, fussy-cut to take off the edge and colored with a pink copic brush pen and used green for the leaves. Rather than raise the full flower I slit some of the flower pedals so that I could adhere three direct to the background and used 3D thin foam tape to lift the other pedals I slit. I do this quite frequently when I don't have other images of same to cut and layer.  



In my stash I found a Thanks sentiment already cut in Mettalic Gold which was complementary to the gold in the flower center.  

I went back to the stickers to look for something for the inside corner but as I was fussy-cutting the flower it slipped from my fingers and fell almost exactly as shown on the card.  It found it's home on the front of the card.  

One more look at the stickers for the inside, there was a pretty gold border stamp and all I needed to do was cut the length and adhere.
