I was hoping this would "pop" more. I think it's missing something...but I don't know what. I wanted a simple card w/o any big glitter, etc. I'm not sure what I had in mind.

I think it is cute the way it is, but if you want to add a little more, why not stamp a leaf on the stem or something like that, or maybe cut the flower out and use a dimensional beneath it. This works really well for this tall card design.

This is darling! Perhaps you could maintain the simplicity of the card but add a twist by clipping off the bottom corners of the card to form the shape of a traditional flower pot -- it would give the effect of being a potted flower (rather than a potted flower ON a card). Hope this makes sense! Regardless, I LOVE your idea! TFS

I love this idea and the way you used the word. I like Boss's idea of the pot above and CrabbyAbbe's idea of the leaves. A thought I had was possibly you could add 2 smaller flowers, 1 on either side of the big one, or you could add leaves or grass coming out of the pot at the base of the flower. I have added this to my favorites and will probably case your idea. TFS.
