A Card for a Sketch & Color Challenge

I used the Create with Connie and Mary Sketch#174 here, along with the PPA#118 Color Challenge here, to create this card. The colors to use are River Rock, Soft Suede and Early Espresso.
The base is Very Vanilla and I added papers from the Patterns DSP Neutrals Stack. I ran some Soft Suede thru the Big Shot with the Square Lattice embossing folder and used my 1 1/4 inch Square punch to notch out the end. I punched the Espresso circle with the 2 1/2 inch Circle punch and the River Rock scallop with the 2 3/8 inch Scallop Circle punch. The 1 3/4 inch Circle punch was used for the Suede circle. I stamped the flower from Flower Fest in Soft Suede and cut it out. I stamped it again on some of the River Rock DSP and cut it out too. I added a Basic Glimmer Brad and popped up the flower with Stampin' dimensionals.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Flower Fest
Papers: Very Vanilla, River Rock, Soft Suede, Early Espresso, Patterns DSP Neutrals Stack
Inks: Soft Suede
Accessories: Square Lattice embossing folder, 2 3/8 inch Scallop Circle punch, 2 1/2 inch and 1 3/4 inch Circle punches, Basic Glimmer brad and Stampin' dimensionals, 1 1/4 inch Square punch
