Your fussy cutting on that flower is fabulous - great job! Two tiny constructive crit points struck me - try tucking the bottom of the flower stem under the frame rather than letting it sit on top, it will look much more "grounded"; you might want a little more visual weight at the bottom of the card to help balance that lovely ornate flower head. For example, you might stamp the flourish you have at the base so that it goes over the frame rather than going under it and maybe even stamp a partial flourish to the left of the one you have but a little lower down so you get a sloping effect. I love the mossy, earthy colours you chose for this, it's lovely!

I really like the free form feel of this card - very appropriate for a botanical-themed piece. I also like how you layered parts of the flower. Thanks for playing along this week!

This is very unique and catches the eye immediately! I like the layering effect and how you put your color in there to offset the monochromatic look.
Excellent!
