Fast and gorgeous Congratulation Card

My brother recently got engaged. It's a really nice time in our family. A few years back he was diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma, it was a horrible time in our family. On Christmas day of 2009 he started his aggressive chemo therapy, and on new years he was finally released from the hospital after a two week stay. It was truly a horrible time in our lives, and we're so happy to be here today celebrating his engagement. I quickly, or as quickly as a scrapper can make things, made him and his fiancée a card for their joyous occasion.
Continuing along with the de stash movement, I used some older Prima paper, and paper pieced the background together. Then, I finally took out the stamp and die cut from Sizzix and Hero Arts, for the flower. I paper pieced two out of the three flowers. I colored the last flower with my distress inks and a eyeshadow applicator. I love the look, it's distressed and has that water colored look, at the same time. The sentiment is from Just Rite stamps. Enjoy and be inspired.
