Flourishes speed challenge

Just as I promised, I'm back with one more card. I stumbled upon a Flourishes release challenge earlier today, and as soon as I saw the fun sketch they gave us, I knew that I wanted to play.
They do a really quick one this time, with the Linky closing in just a few hours. I'm glad that in my time zone the deadline falls on the evening, rather than morning, like for the Americans.
It was much easier for me to have a bit of uninterrupted peace (well, sort of... *snort*), and so I finished this!

Iwona... this rocks. I LOVE the bright colors and just how it all flows into one gorgeous card! Glad you had some quiet time and now I have to think of those Aussies in their craft rooms at night when the rest are burning the midnight oil! LOL! Thanks for playing! Your card is gorgeous!
