Below is the card I created for the hop

I started by stampind Wild Rose Close Up  on a piece of white cardstock in Couture Color - Warm Hazelnut. I colored the image with Holbein watercolors and Faber Castell pencils. Then, I cut out a card panel using Double Stitched Rectangle Dies (Large).

"Smile" from City Girls Spring Smiles and "it looks good on you" fro Smiling Cosmos were stamped in Noir.
I embellished my card with a few sequins from Valentine Frosting Couture Mix.
