Gracious Flower Power!

We have a new theme for "NEW" at Everybody Art Challenge and we would love to see your creations. Do check out the wonderful inspiration from my teamies and share some love with the Design Team by leaving comments on their blogs.  You can interpret this as a New Something - new home, new baby, new job, etc.  I have simply used products that are new to me - this fabulous postage die from Waffle Flower and also my new Memory Box Gracious Florals stencil.  I loved making this card with it's Altenew stamped and heat embossed sentiment. My inks are a mix of Stampin Up and Altenew. 

Tom and I are having some work done in the house.  It's going to look great but the process is stressful.  So many decisions to make over the last year and now the work has started, virtually the entire contents of my kitchen are in storage and the entire contents of our study/office is all over the house but mostly in the dining room and in my craft room as we swap rooms so that the office becomes the kitchen (it is the much bigger room) and the old kitchen gets cut in half with part of it becoming the new study.  I really can't get to my craft desk where overflow boxes from the study are scattered and I may have to take a month off my card making whilst work continues.  We left home for 12 days when the work started but it will be ongoing for a further 5-6 weeks and I'm not sure how we will cope!

I am entering my card into the following challenges:
