Grab a Cup

Flourishes is having a "Grab a Cup" challenge where you have a chance to win their whole November release! This is my card:

Update - 17 November 2013:
Soooo excited that my card was one of three randomly chosen to win the Flourishes November release - 3 new sets! I can hardly wait to receive them! The three sets that Flourishes has released this November are: Grab a Cup; Friendship and Flowers; and So Distressed. So many ideas are running through my head already :-)
