Spotlight a CAS card

I've been tackling some CAS cards and here is another one:


I've used the zinnia stamp set from Flourishes.  I find it a really versatile card.  I also like to make most of my cards without a sentiment on them. That way, I can use them for any occasion. 

I decided to spotlight the image, so I stamped it twice on copic paper. I colored one image and then used my circle punch to punch out one portion of it.  I added a foam dot the back of the circle and adhered it to my card to match the image below.  I also added some stickles to the centre of each flower. The picture really doesn't do that part any justice though.  It does really sparkle.

On a side note, I just found out that John McDermott will be in Winnipeg on August 31st at The Forks, performing with the symphony. I'd really like to go. I just love his voice.

Challenges for this card:
