Sunday Sketch with a lot of layers!

Well I just finished my card for Kristina's Color Inspiration #52, and just as I was about to call it quits for the night, and head up for bed, I saw that Karen put out her Sweet Sunday Sketch #18, and well, you know me, I just couldn't resist, although I won't think too keenly about it when the kiddos wake me up in the mornin'!

So here is my card for her sketch challenge. Now that I'm sittin' back looking at it, perhaps I should have waited until tomorrow.....there are a lot of layers, and a lot of dots and a lot of embossing....perhaps too much? But I guess that's what happens when you attempt to start a card after 1 am. LOL!

Anyway, this was the first time I used this stamp that I picked up a couple of weeks ago while on my cupcake fetish. I think it's adorable, and since I've been LOVIN' those Twinkles from Taylored Expressions, I used them for the middle of all the flowers! I also used my peony nestabilities for the first time as well.....so many virgin items playing into this card! The patterned paper is from October Afternoon, and everything else is Stampin' UP!
