I know, I know, this isn't a fall card! I've been making so many fall projects lately (and I LOVE FALL!) that I decided to take a break from those and do something different using these colors. Well, I thought and thought then chose the Secret Garden set and framelits for flowers!
I stamped the two line-art stamps and clear embossed them. Next I used my AquaPainter filled with alcohol and colored them. I did a second center for the Bermuda Bay flower and layered it. The Crushed Curry was stamped off before stamping then I added some shading with the AquaPainter.
Here you can see the close-up detail. Three tiny Pearls center each flower; I colored the Pearls for the Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry flowers with my AquaPainter (alcohol) and ink; the Pearls were left original for the Bermuda Bay flower.
Crushed Curry 3/4" Chevron Ribbon encircles the Chevron-embossed card front. The "Hello" sentiment is from Lacy and Lovely stamp set which is stamped on the banner. Here you can also get a glimpse of the inside that is decorated with two line-art flowers and a length of "ric-rac" diecut with the Tasteful Trim XL die.
Here again are the colors for this week's challenge from Create with Connie and Mary:

Gorgeous! Love the colored flowers! I would never have thought to color them that way! And I just love the colored pearls!
I love the way you softened the colors with the alcohol in the blender pen! Such a pretty card! Wonderful fall hello!
Using Secret Garden in all the colors was a great idea! Lovely card!
Love this, Margaret! I think it kinda has a fresh look for fall. So pretty.
I know you weren't trying for a fall look, but I love this combination of flower colors! So pretty on the chevron embossed background! Great job with the color challenge last week!
