Here's my card

 
I started with Great Impressions Wildflower Silhouette stamp. I added colour with distress ink markers (Mowed Lawn, Worn Lipstick, Picked Raspberry and Mustard Seed) and lightly spritzed with water before stamping the image. I was inspired by all the florals and picked colours from the inspiration photo. I cut out the panel with MFT Die-namics Zig Zag Stitched Oval. To pop up the oval, I cut a piece of fun foam, just a little smaller than the stamped oval. The sentiment is from Simon Says STAMP Lots of Thanks stamp set.

Thanks for visiting. Next on the blog hop is Susan
