All occasion card featuring lace and ribbon with a die cut flower

This is my next card with no greeting.  I did leave some room so one can be added later.  I started with a soft green card and then added a background which I pieced from a few scraps of beautiful watercolour paper.  I added a piece of ecru lace, a peach ribbon and then three tiny brads on the right hand side.  A nice textural embellishement.  I added some paper pierced texture on the remaining piece using my pattern tracing wheel.  For my focal element I created a flower using a dark brown "stem" which was cut from a die from a greenery set by Tim Holtz.  The flower is layered (CB) with a brown outline with a flower cut from the scrap of the same paper as the background.  It worked out really nice that the flower was a good contrast to the background.  It is fun to find that your tools are versatile!!
