I cut the green one apart to use for leaves & added yellow Stickles to the flower center. I masked the sentiment from the set so I could stamp 2 of the 3 words using Versafine Clair Nocturne. The beautiful image from GKD Holiday Tapestry was stamped in Versamark & heat embossed with a very old satin powder. It's truly stunning in person--so elegant! 
I also embossed the card edges in that powder & mounted the panel with a black mat. I posted the card on IG without embellishments, but the next day decided I liked the look with 3 black enamel dots. I'm entering Gina K Monthly Mix.
Didn't make much difference, but the little darker blue dots were done with SSS Falling Snow Stencil & Delicata Sapphire Blue ink. The black frame is Poppystamps Double Stitch Scalloped Rectangle Frames, the flowers are Memory Box Arianna Sprig & the sentiment is Poppystamps Scribble Hello. 
I brushed the flowers with a shimmer pen & added gloss to the sentiment. Finished by tying on white crochet thread & attaching an iridescent gem. Wish you could see the sparkle & shimmer in person!
