Daring Cardmakers Challenge - July Inspirational Elements

As it's the first Friday of the month and time for a new Daring Cardmakers challenge, it is an elemental inspirational theme today.  And the inspiration can be drawn from:

You just need to use three of the elements in your creation.  I've used the texture, colour yellow, the round segmented pattern and the bead like pattern.

I've embossed the card blank with a Sizzix folder and added the yellow ribbon and wooden beads that I found in my stash (I was actually looking for something else at the time!)  The flower I've layered up from various ones I found lurking in the bottom of a box and added a button and ribbon to the centre to hide the hole (I must have recycled it!)

Good luck with the challenge!  I'd like to enter the following:
