This was way out of my comfort zone, but I decided to give it a try anyway. My flower was freeform painted with water colors, then dotted with stickles. The background was sponged with blue and green chalk for the sky and grass, then die cut and pasted onto the pierced base. The sentiment was die cut from white card stock, then colored with alcohol inks and the green portions were covered with stickles.
This was the 5th try on the flower - it just wasn't going to get any better.

A sweet little muscari, one of my favourites! And I love the word die. I remember noticing the flowers for "O" when I saw it on their website, but I don't remember the little leaves at each end.
I practiced three times, Priscilla before I was ready to work on my good watercolor paper and my flowers don't have nearly the dimension yours does! I Love the blue you used! Your word die is super fun. Gorgeous card. Faved!

It doesn't NEED to get better! Geez, this is beautiful and so are your colors! Trying watercolor today and failing miserably! I'd call this a wonderful success and love your gorgeous flower!

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?
