With Love Card Using Floral Lanterns

Hello friends! I hope everyone is doing well.  It has been raining for a few days here in Southern CA; but now we have sunshine this afternoon.  Life seems better when the sun is shining.  Lol!

I have created this card as a challenge to myself.  I was notified that I did not do the challenge correctly for Double Trouble Challenge in January or February.  I read the directions several times; but it didn't sink in apparently.  I guess I could blame it on COVID brain; but I didn't realize I had COVID in January when I posted the first wrong card, until the next day; so maybe that was it.  Lol!  Either way, I had to try to do this challenge correctly; so that is why I have created this card.  I sure hope I got it right this time; although I am still having many issues after having COVID.  

It was still a challenge for me to try to create this card; but I think it turned out pretty.  It is rather different from what I have created in the past.  I don't know if I have ever used 3 different printed papers before.  I was not able to follow the sketch; although I did try in the beginning and gave up on that idea.  I guess 2 out of 3 things is not bad.
