Fusion #4 Jackie's Challenge

This week I decided to use Jackie's challenge which you can access Here
PTI's Happiness In Bloom and Sketched Shapes which I just received this week.  The Sketched Shapes is out of my normal stamping mode, but decided to combine them with the flower which is my stamping mode.  I really do like these shapes I think because they are sort of translucent if you know what I mean.

My card for CAS(E) this Sketch which you can access Here
