All of my cards are numbered so I can keep track of how many cards I've made along with the month and year I made them.
The layout designs that I use on my cards are provided from the design team at Freshly Made Sketches and Mojo Monday card challenges. The color schemes on some of my cards are compliments of the Color Throwdown card challenge. I owe my thanks to them for the use of these challenges.

Peace, Love, Joy

#573-2018-11..
At first, I had a different idea for how I was going to make this card. However, after having it layed out in front of myself, it didn't quite look as good as I had pictured it in my head. So, after doing some more thinking, I came up with this...
My first thought was that I was going to use some pink glitter paper that has an adhesive backing on it. But it looked too flashy for my taste. So, I still used my Christmas embossing folder and I ran it through my BigKick machine. Then I took the adhesive off of the glitter paper, which is what you see here on my card. I decided to give it a dark plum purple border.
I decided to use my Stampin Up Flourish thinlits die with a medium green paper. The main part of the flower is from my Poinsettia Nesting Dies. The lighter purple on my poinsettia was actually cut out on white paper and then I sponged on a little bit of purple to make it look kind of antique-ish. The top of my poinsettia is a flower thinlit die from the Flourish thinlits die set.
The sentiment (Peace Love Joy) is from my Essential Sayings clear stamp set. The banner that this is stamped on is a thinlit die from Hero Arts Kelly's Flags Stamp & Cut Set.
