I stamped the images onto the background of the card front in Distress Oxide Inks. I used Wilted Violet to stamp the blooms and Mowed Lawn to stamp the stem and flowers. then I used the same colors, with the addition of Milled Lavender to ink blend around the stamped images.

I splattered some of the ink colors around, as well. then I heat embossed the sentiment in black onto vellum and trimmed it to a banner! then I used my sewing machine to stitch the banner on.

I die cut everything from white cardstock, and did lots of ink blending! I used Seedless Preserves, Picked Raspberry and Dried Marigold for the blooms. Pine Needles, Cracked Pistachio and Twisted Citron for the stems and leaves. and a little Mustard Seed for the centers! then I splattered everything with white acrylic ink.
