{S.S.} Challenge 195: Hello friend!

Good morning everyone!!
Happy Sunday to all!!!  Geez, I hope that the beautiful weather we've been havin is a sign of warmer weather and Springtime is finally here/approaching!!  YEAH!!!!

Today,  at Sentimental Sundays we have a fun challenge for you to partake in this week.
We are being sponsored by Oak Pond Creations and I decided to use Hibiscus from her collection.

This was a little challenging for me.  I had a plan, but just wasn't coming together the way I had it imagined, UNTIL...  I saw my Sam's post yesterday.  Sam is one of my DT teammies on another DT I am on and she has a very sweet and clean style. Check out her card HERE
After seeing her amazing card...I had a new plan in mind and went for it!!
I love it!!!  I love that it's so bold and saturated with color and pops right out of the card!!  
As Sam did in her sample, I printed the didgital image on a smaller scale onto textured cardstock. 
I decided not to color my background, because I wanted the focal to be the bold hibiscus. 
I also used flowe soft for a little bit of added interest. 

I would like to share this card in the following challenges: 

Hugs,
