MTSC86/Color Throwdown - Pursue Happiness

Hello!  I was able to stamp a little this afternoon and decided to participate in two challenges. Some times the challenges take you out of your comfort zone but sure do help to get your creative juices going.  The first challenge is Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge #86 {awesome sketch} and the second is the Color Throwdown, I combined the two with this pretty Taylored Expressions Discover Your Wings stamp set to create this card.
It was fun adding detail and dimension to this card by stamping the flowers a second time and popping them up, adding glitter to the dandy lion flowers and butterfly and tiny pearls to the tips of the wings {click on the above picture for a closer view}.

Supplies: Discover Your Wings - Taylored Expressions, Markers, Perfect Polka Dots Impressions Folder, Ribbon, Glitter, Pearls, Dimensionals.
