Upsy Daisy--Two for One--CCMC110 and Curtain Call Challenge Act 42

I decided to combine the color scheme from Stacy's Curtain Call Color Challenge and the layout from Create with Connie and Mary to make this card. Once I used my markers to create the floral image on the very vanilla cardstock, I used the versamark pad to ink up the entire circle, sprinkled clear embossing powder with dazzling diamonds glitter in it and used the heat gun to set it. I was really pleased how it turned out and thank both these websites for their inspiration.
