The main panel is Naturals White card stock. To make the main image panel on this card, I first stamped the leaves in Old Olive. Then I stamped the solid flower image in Pumpkin Pie and used a stamp-a-majig for placement to stamp the line flower image in Calypso Coral. The "with love" is stamped in Chocolate Chip. All stamps used on this card are from the Field Flowers set. After the panel was stamped, I covered about 1/4" of all four edges with post-it notes and sponged the image with Bashful Blue ink to create the blue rectangle around the flower.
The base is Chocolate Chip cardstock and the card front panel is Calypso Coral embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper folder and sponged with Chocolate Chip ink. I cut a strip of Naturals White cardstock with one of the Finishing Touches Edgelits and layered it with a strip of Chocolate Chip card stock and a piece of Victoria Crocheted Lace ribbon. I matted the flower image panel with Chocolate Chip card stock and attached it to the card with Dimensionals.

Here's another card with the beautiful stamp set, Everything Eleanor.
I had a lot of fun with this one, I really love how the orange flowers jump right off the card. The card front is Sahara Sand cardstock. I stamped the En Francais background stamp on it in Soft Suede and the swirls image from Everything Eleanor in Always Artichoke in the bottom corner. Then I tore the edges and sponged with Soft Suede ink, heavily around the edges and lightly in the center. I backed that with a piece of Soft Suede cardstock that had torn edges and had been sponged with Early Espresso ink. The card front was attached to a Crumb Cake card base that had been sponged with Soft Suede ink. I stamped three flower images from the Everything Eleanor stamp set on Very Vanilla cardstock in Black Stazon ink. I used So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie and Tangerine Tango markers to color the flowers, then I cut them out and attached them with Glue Dots. The greeting, from the Itty Bitty Banners set, is stamped in Early Espresso on Sahara Sand cardstock and cut out with the Bitty Banners Framelit. Then I added a Naturals Designer button and a bit of Pumpkin Pie 1/8" Taffeta ribbon, both attached with Glue Dots.
I hope you enjoyed my card for today!
