Creatique Candy: “Pemberly” A Flowering Touch…

So I woke up one morning and decided to take the plunge into my craft room. This piece was inspired by the Big Red Scraps discussion board along with January’s 1st week challenge via H2H to choose an unused stamp set. I was inspired by a stamp set that isn’t available until May 2012, however I couldn’t help myself to play along with several techniques on the flower itself, so I made the rest of the card fairly simple. There will be a supply list provided at the end of this post.
Here is a close-up of the Flower:
