That, sums up the challenge requirements and the prizes. And, now to inspire you to play along with this challenge, here is what I have created :

 To make my card, I started with a Kraft cardstock base and embossed the front of the card with the Cuttlebug/Provocraft Textile Embossing folder then, I punched some border laces with the Martha Stewart Doily Lace punch and DCWV Pattern papers and stuck it to the bottom half.

On the top half of my card, I distressed it with Colorbox Frost White Pigment ink and Vintage Photo Distress ink then, die cut and colored my flowers using Sizzix/Tim Holtz Tattered Flower Garland die and colored it using Spun Sugar, Tattered Rose and Scattered Straw Distress inks.

The leaves were colored using Mowed Lawn and Peeled Paint Distress inks. I added the MFT Fancy Flourish and MFT Scrolled Flourishes using Martha Stewart Iridescent glitter die-cuts behind my flower arrangement and placed it around the Spellbinder's Fluer de Lis frame which was again colored with Vintage Photo Distress ink.

That's it from me Hope you all will play along with us and dazzle us with your various creative approach to our challenge :)
