Gorgeous photo, gorgeous colors. I love how they kinda match my blog, hee! :) Anyway, I tried to stay as true to the challenge as possible with my card:
No white of any kind... that was tough for me! And no, that bottom panel is not SU!'s Rockabilly paper from the last catty! Instead, I replicated it myself by stamping a Stampendous acrylic border/line stamp repeatedly, and then heat embossing it with black EP:
Not bad, eh? I think it looks a lot like the real thing! :) The rest of the images are all SU!. I always get a little nostalgic when a new catty comes out, and like to pay tribute to the oldies-but-goodies before inking up new favorites. ;) Here, I used the ever immortal Bodacious Bouquet, stamped with Real Red ink on Pixie Pink card stock.
Quick Tip: For the flower leaves, I just used a 6-petal flower punch like this one here by EK Success. Simply snip off a few petals and you'll have perfectly shaped "leaves" to embellish your flowers. I really like versatile punches that can serve double duty like that. Punches can be expensive! So always think out of the box when purchasing/using them and you'll get your money's worth, too. :)
I can't believe it, but my SU! order will be here tomorrow! That was QUICK. I haven't ordered anything since Sale-A-Bration, so I'm super excited. :) I'll be back tomorrow with some Hero Arts to share... see you then! Thanks for peekin'!
SUPPLIES: line stamp is Stampendous, the rest are SU! (Bodacious Bouquet and Thank You Kindly)... inks and card stocks also SU!... black EP, Hero gemstones, EK Success daisy punch for the leaves, SU! scallop border punch, and pop dots

I love your lack of white. I was not able to make it work for me. I am going to go back and give it another try.
