Here's my card made with one of CJ's beautiful new images, coloured as usual with promarkers and then I added little white dots to the flower petals with a white gel pen. I stamped a floral flourish stamp in versamark around the edge and dusted it with orange cosmic shimmer powder. The orange gingham paper is from my stash. I made the flowers from dotty ribbons from Crafty Ribbons and added the centres which were made by flattening bottle tops in my cuttlebug and adding seed beads to the centres.
