For this card I have stamped it three times, coloured it with Promarkers and then fussy-cut it, removing the stem from one so I could use the head and leaf independently. The background card has a lightly printed script look, and I have slightly distressed the edges, then added some mesh strip and a sunflower-patterned ribbon. I'd been worried that the script on the background might mean a stamped sentiment wouldn't show up, but I was pleased with the way it turned out. If it hadn't worked, I'd have stamped it again on cream card and added it over the existing one!

This is lovely. The sunflowers make for a fabulous Autumn style card. I was amazed yesterday when walking back from the village to see a pretty yellow butterfly flluttering along the hedgerow. Glorious weather today and sitting in the garden now having a cup of coffee before tackling some more garden tidying up. A large tad has just plopped into the pond in front of me too!! Hugs Mrs A.
