For my first card this challenge I have used one of Dora's fab images - I love Hellebores so as soon as I saw this one I had to have it!
I coloured it with watercolours and fussy cut.
The background behind the die cut trellis was some by smooshing the ink used for the flowers onto a piece of acetate and transferred to the background card. I find that using the acetate is easier for managing where and how much ink you want rather than just pressing the card direct into the ink on the craft mat.
Finished Dora's pretty flower with some Nuvo Pearls for the stamens and the flower centre.

Thanks for sharing your tip about using acetate for ink transfer., I must try that next. Your coloring of the flowers is expertly done and the whole layout is just gorgeous.

Lovely card ❤️ Beautiful flower, and I love the sentiment.
Gorgeous Hellebores Viv and just the colours you would find them in plus those very pretty pearl drops on the stamens, and the matching smooshed panel behind the die cut lattice is perfect. Congratulations on your win over at Uniko too. x
