Freshly Made Sketches #5

I just can't stop playing this challenge.  I love the sketches.  Here's my attempt at this week's Freshly Made Sketch.  This card is really a hodge podge of many brands.  The border is an EK success border punch and the paper is from multiple companies.  I used the Always Elegant stamp set and tag from Stampin' Up.  For the flower, the base is the Whimsy Circle die from memory box and the flower is cut from some ribbon that has sheer flowers attached with a pearl brad in the middle.  The inspiration was the Whimsey Circle cut from black and white polka dot paper.
