And here is the card I created to attend this challenge:

I stamped the main image from Gina K Designs' Garden of Wishes stamp set on white stock, then I rotated my cardstock and stamped it again to create a mirror image. I stamped the greeting (from the same set) in the middle part of these two images and colored the flowers and leaves with alcohol markers. I used flower images from Gina K Designs' Take Care stamp set and stamped at top and bottom of the background with the same colors of inks on the mirrored flower images. Finish the card by dropping some black enamel accent on the black dots of mirrored flower images. Below is another look of the card:

Supplies:

Cardstock: Gina K Designs, Spellbinders

Ink Pads: Gina K Designs, Altenew

Simon Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes

Here is Simon Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes, below is the challenge photo:

And here is the card I created to attend this challenge:

I was inspired with Jennifer McGuire's live video on the masking technique and created this card. I stamped the flower (from Concord & 9th' Eclectic Blooms stamp set) on the white cardstock. I also used the matching die to cut this flower shape from masking paper and covered it on the stamped flower. Then I used the masking strips to diagonally mask the background and ink blended different shades of blue and green on the background. Once it is done, I removed all masking strips and flower mask to have the string result. Finish the card by attaching "thanks" die cut (from Concord & 9th's Eclectic Blooms die set) at the bottom of the card. Below is another look of the card:
