A RING OF DAISIES

A recent CAS challenge theme asked for rings, and this is the first card I created that turned out a little too labour intensive to be called CAS, but nonetheless very pretty:


I inked and embossed a white CS offcut and sewed on orange sequins and beads:


The bow and peel off sentiment were added as embellishments.

I would like to add my card to the following challenges:
