Third Time's the Charm

My friend Tracey is the current muse at the Muse challenge! Here is her card: 

As you can tell from my title, it took me a few tries to get something I liked. For the card I was finally happy with, I was inspired by Tracey's flowers, colours, black sentiment, sprinkling of sequins and general layout. And here's the card I can live with...

I couldn't find flowers to create a cluster the way Tracey did (and yes, I tried), so I chose this image instead. Up to the final second, I was going to emboss in gold, but then I decided gold flower stems would be just too weird, so I chose verdigris, a mix of green and gold, instead. I watercoloured in similar colours to Tracey. I gave the flower centres some sparkle, and used black sparkle powder to emboss the sentiment. 
Thanks for the inspiration, Tracey!
