Once again I have created a card with no designer paper, how fun is that?  The background was made using my Triple Stripe Background stamp,  which I stamped two times with Archival Jet Black ink onto my salmon card stock.  I attached them to a black panel, layered onto a salmon panel, layered onto the black card stock base.  Wow, 4 layers already!  Next came the border piece to hide the seam between the two striped panels.  I embossed some Swiss Dots onto the salmon border piece before adding it to the black layer.  Then using my black Copic marker, I colored some ribbon and attached that as well.  Next step was my Potted Flowers Square Large and my matching Four Little Flowers  I stamped them twice with Memento black ink, cutting out the center panels for coloring with my Copics:
Flowers - R21, BV01, YR02, YR21
Leaves - G21
Pots - E95, E97
Container - C2, C3
I used R21 for the argyle frames around the images. I also added some gold bling to the centers of the flowers using my Viva Decor Pearl pen.  I don't know how I ever crafted without my pearl pens, they are just so quick and easy to use, I love them.  I mounted the center panels on black card stock, popping them up with dimensionals before adding them back on the first stampings.  These were also mounted on black with more dimensionals before adding them to the card.  Lots of great dimension to this card.  For the flowers I used Dotted Flower Sm stamping them onto the salmon card stock with Memento black ink.  I used my Copic R21 to make them stand out just a bit more.  Again I added some gold bling to the flower centers with my Pearl pen.  The leaves are Dotted Leaf sm stamped on a coordinating green paper, again with Memento black ink.  And the last step was this fun little Swirly Dragonfly sm stamped on coordinating purple card stock with Memento black ink.  I popped the flowers with dimensional but the leaves are adhered to the card base.  Finished size is 6" square.
