DD #12 : STAMPIN' UP!'S FLOWER FANCY, TAKE 2

I have made another card for this week's Dynamic Duos challenge:

My original plan was to create a card with a glossy Poppy Parade-coloured flower ... but the Crystal Effects I applied to my coloured image didn't want to dry.  It's now a full two days ... the flower is dry and ready to be added to a card! 

When I applied Crystal Effects over the centre of the flower, that I'd coloured with a Basic Black marker,  the ink bled, giving a soft, cloudy look that I really like!  To draw the eye in, I added a cute Kaisercraft Sparklet to the centre.  The layers behind the flower have been embossed with my Square Lattice embossing folder, to complement the texture of the flower centre.

Here's the finished card:
