My Attempt at a monochromatic card

Edited after picture!

Today I played with an inspiration challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments. There was a picture collage that you were to use and create a card or project .

When I saw the picture I was drawn to the ivory shell pillow. I thought it would be fun to create a monochromatic card using Very Vanilla. I used the Perfect Details template to make the back layer and added to card base with dimensionals. I then pulled out my Fifth Avenue Floral and stamped the rose with Very Vanilla Craft and embossed with clear embossing powder. I then sponged on some Barely Banana and Pretty in Pink to give it some dimension. I attached it to the card with dimensionals also. I finished with some ivory organdy ribbon. I had a hard time photographing this card. I will try taking another picture today when the sun is out and see if I can get a better shot. Here is my creation.

I promised I would retake the picture and come back and repost it so you could see the details better. Well I wasn’t happy with the look of the card so I actually modified it a bit. I embossed 3 other flowers and cut out different layers. I added more Barely Banana and Pretty in Pink sponging. I also used the shimmer paint and a stylus and drew on the lines of the petals. I would have liked a skinnier line and my try it another time using an old pen. I put black behind the card so I think you can see it better. Let me know what you think!
