Betty Wright asked us to make a card based upon our favorite flowers. I hesitate to pick one, because I love almost all flowers and feel as though I'd be "cheating on" the others if I picked one. That having been said, cosmos and zinnias are like wonderful friends. If you nurture them they stay with you all season. The more you need them (ie cut them) the more that they stay around. They can put up with a lot and still look beautiful.
Stamped the image from Flourishes Zinnias in Memento Tuxedo Black on Flourishes white CS and colored with Copics. Cut with a circle Nestie and sponged lightly. Matted with another Nestie in Sugar Rush DP. Added a strip of more Sugar rush matted with Almost Amethyst and a strip of Amethyst with a strip of MS eyelet border punch. Tied the gingham ribbon. Ran a GKD Sweet Corn card through a TH EF and mounted all. Added a few Stickles to the flower centers. This is based upon the DTGD11 challenge offered by Kharmagirl. PT - 3
Thank you so much for looking. Have a peaceful day.

I love your description of the Zinnas. At my house they move around....lol Each year they have come up in a different spot. Their colors are phenomenal and I see you have captured their essence in this gorgeous beauty. Marzi this is awesome. I just love your image and beautifully crafted card.
