I scored my card front at half inch intervals then dragged several colors of ink over the paper to achieve a rustic faux wood look. I stamped the sunflower on scrap stock and colored with prisma pencils. Since there are NO leaves with this flower, I inked just the leaf portion of SU stipple hydrangea (twice) to get a stem tall enough for the porportion of the flower. Fussy cut both pieces. Since the stem was pretty fragile, I glued it flat to my card front but did lift the edges of the leaves with dimensionals. The sunflower was mounted with a double layer of dimensionals.

I was thinking that faux wood would be perfect for the F4A. It certainly is, and makes a wonderful background for your lovely sunflower. Well done on adding in the stem and foliage.
