ATC Inspired by Cleo

This is an ATC (Artist's Trading Card, 2½" x 3½"), inspired by elements from the many creative cards by my American crafting buddy, Cleo. As you can see, I can't make up my mind which way up it should be! Lol..

The background is water-coloured, then I embossed the white card with a Darice peonies folder,  trimmed around the edges with fancy-cut scissors with a deckle-edge, and raised it on low profile 3D foam pads. (I use WH Smith's 'Sticky Fixers', because they give just the right amount of lift to give some nice shadow and dimension, and will still go through the slot at the Post Office! Unless you add more on top, as I have here!) 

The silver die-cut is from Scrapman Dies in Russia.. Geometry-9 (DR-264). On top of that are some lovely paper roses and some sequins.
