And, here is my card...


                                                           

For my card, I started with a white card base and paired it with yellow.  The background was made using a Tim Holtz stencil.  The hope sentiment was gold embossed, which is from the Paper Sweeties set Merry and the flowers are from the set Pretty Posies.  I used Sweet Cuts-Rectangle Scallop Frames to frame the sentiment.  Sequins of cookie dough and creamsicle were added to the center of the flowers.  Gold Perfect Pearls Mist was sprayed to the card for the final touch.
