Flourishes progressive challenge

Wow what a fun challenge Flourishes is having this week.  Getting ready for the new release next week the challenge is a progressive one. There are 8 things that you need to use on your card.  The first is to make a card that is NOT an A2 card, I'm using a 6x6 square card that I used the French flair die from Cheery Lynn to cut it out.  I added a smaller layer of the French Flair with patterned paper and edged both those layers with peel off gold borders.I sponged some distressed broken china ink on both layers. Then I cut out a Joy craft die in lavender and edged it with a gold pen.  I stamped and colored with copics the beautiful poinsettia and pine stamp from Flourishes and then cut it out by hand. I added a triple bow and a tag from Spellbinders with the saying from this set to finish this card.  The recipe for the card was:
Not an A2, floral image, Ribbon or lace, inspiration photo which was turq/pink, add a tag, rounded corners or curvy die, some antiquing, and a die cut. I think I made all of these.
