I colored the background of my card in pastel colors and added white die cut flowers of the Finesse (51-769) die by Penny Black.

I started by making the alcohol ink background in soft green and pink. I first dropped rubbing alcohol on a Yupo paper and added few droplets of Pink Sherbet and Citrus alcohol ink to it. I also added Piñata Brass to it for some golden accents. I moved the inks using a hair dryer, added rubbing alcohol when I wanted to change the pattern and repeated the process until I was happy with the result. After the panel was dry I adhered it on a white cardbase.

Next I cut a Hexagon Frame (51-640) two times from some white cardstock and ink blended one of them in soft coral and soft green ink. I layered them together and added it to the card.

The Finesse (51-769) was cut three times from white cardstock and stacked together for some dimension. I placed it on the hexagon frame using foam tape. 

The sentiment is from the Blissful Bears (30-958) stamp set.  I stamped it in Matcha ink on a strip of white cardstock, matted it with a strip of light green cardstock and added it to the card.

I also added a small white butterfly which was cut with a die from the Hydrangea (51-610) set. Some golden flat back pearls were my finishing touch for this card.
