Embossed Flower

This pretty purple card is 4 1/2"x6 1/4." I used dark purple cardstock for the card base, then cut some white glitter cardstock 1/4" smaller. I cut two strips of light purple cardstock, one at 1 1/8"x5" and one at 1 3/8"x5," and one strip of silver cardstock, cut at 1 1/2"x5." I embossed all three with the Floral Fantasy folder then adhered them to the card with small spaces between them. I stamped my sentiment using silver ink and added the four silver pearls in the corners. I used Mother's Day Bouquet for the circles, the purple one is cut at 2 1/2" and the white one is cut at 2 1/4." I also used Mother's Day Bouquet for the flower. I cut the layers at 1 3/4," 1 1/4" and 3/4." I embossed all the layers with the Victoria embossing folder. I then curled the edges and mounted it to the card. I finished it off by adding some silver pearls to the center of the flower.I made this card for the following challenges:
