I haven't been feeling creative lately, and sometimes I find that entering a challenge will give me the inspiration I need to make something. I find the push with the Double Trouble challenge to make a mini slimline care (something I rarely do) and use a floral image (something I like to do).
I chose an autumny-looking image from From the Heart (It has oak leaves and acorns), and found a snippet of patterned paper that could provide some ideas for colors (since I knew I wanted a purple flower). The flowers are colored in pencils, and the panel was edged with lavender ink. Lavender baker's twine is wrapped the panel, which is popped up at a slight angle on the patterned panel, which also is edged in lavender. For a little sparkle, there are three clear sequins on the bottom part of the card and three clear sequins on the top part.
This card is being entered in these challenges:

What a lovely card Sandy. I really like how you picked out some of the colours in the background paper when you coloured the image so perfectly.
