Earth Laughs in Flowers

Morning and we have a new "Flowers" challenge at Daisy Chain and I was inspired to make this card after watching a Tracy Evans live FB demo.
Distress oxide ink was applied straight to card and sprayed with water-then I stamped script with a large wooden stamp from Stampabilities-which I have had for years---then applied white gesso through a circle aperture.
Flowers were stamped onto card then twice onto a piece of card swiped with same ink and fussy cut the flower heads and 3-D them after adding pencil shading to the petals(rather hurriedly as forgot before I stuck down!!!)
A piece of card cut to make vase and embossed with three layers of ultra thick embossing powder and stampe a wotd into from an AALL &Create set-the flower stamps were from CAS-UAL Fridays.
The stamped sentiment and little Bee were from Chocolate Baroque.
