Hi there, hope everyone is doing okay.
It's Anything Goes Flowers/Florals AS THE FOCUS of your make with this optional mood board provided for your inspiration.
I used the mood board's colors and the irises as my inspiration.
And here is my design team inspiration for you. I created a 5x6 easel card. I used this Sweet n Sassy Stamps set called Happy Irises. I had not yet used the silhouette stamps in the set, so I decided to try those.
I began by layering the DCWV patterned papers from their Floral Stack onto my white card base. Then I took a sheet of TH Distress Specialty Stamping paper and brayered it with Shaded Lilac and Milled Lavender Distress Inks for the background. Then I stamped the leaves and stems with Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide Ink and clear heat-embossed them. I stamped the irises with Wilted Violet, Villainous Potion and Seedless Preserves Distress Oxides and clear heat-embossed them. I also stamped the irises on either side of the sentiment on the stop strip of the easel.
I must confess that this Tim Holtz color swatch that I had in my files was a great match with the mood board colors, so I used these ink shades. 
For my sentiments, I used stamps from this very old Cornish Heritage Farms set (no longer in business). I stamped with Monarch Versafine Clair ink and clear heat-embossed.
I included a handwritten note on some of the pink paper on the inside and added some of the purple paper to the back. All of the papers were edged with a marker. And more of the purple paper on the bottom of the card, along with an Impression Obsession stamped siggie.
And final view.

Thanks for visiting and have a great day.
Try to stay cool!

This is fabulous, from the back and from the front, and with my fave colours, yesssssss! I even have a shiny purple walking stick! I think you say a cane on your side of the pond!
