Just Us Girls challenge #825 - Stencil Week

Hello again friends!  I'm back to share my DT card for the Just Us Girls challenge and this week it's 'ATG Stencil Week'.  As long as you use a stencil you can create anything you like so I'm sure there will be lots of entries.
I recently bought a pretty layering stencil by Nellie Snellen from a destash group on FaceBook so decided to show it some love instead of putting it away and forgetting about it lol!  I used the carnation trio of inks as there were 3 layers to the stencil and I love this trio so much.  I added a few die cuts and voila my card was done.  I hope you like it. 
Here is my card:
A closer look at the details:
Plus I decorated the inside:
I began by cutting a white panel 4" x 5 1/4" and used the stencil and carnation inks to create my pretty background.  I used a stitched rectangle die to cut the panel down slightly.  I die cut 2 ovals; one from white card and one from vellum and adhered them together with liquid glue.  I die cut some flowers from white card and using the same ink pads added some colour to the centres.  I also die cut the separate flower centres and added a darker ink to them before adhering them to the flowers with liquid glue.  I die cut some leaves from vellum as I didn't want any other colour on my card today.  Before adding the ovals to the card panel I arranged the flowers in the lower part with foam squares and the leaves were added with liquid glue.  I stamped the sentiment using the darkest carnation ink pad and added a few clear sequins with liquid glue.  The oval panel was then adhered with double sided tape.  I added some scrap white card behind the background and adhered it to the card base with double sided tape.  For the inside I cut another stitched rectangle from white card and added a tiny strip of the background across the bottom with liquid glue.  I had some flowers left over so added them to the bottom right corner with liquid glu.  I stamped the sentiment in the dark carnation ink in the centre of the panel and this was then adhered to the card base with double sided tape. 

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
