I trimmed the Anna Griffin green patterned paper to the size of a larger card and fastened the ribbon to it. For the large flower, I inked the flower head with cat's eyes in Bisque and Chestnut Roan, and the stem with the Plaid green ink on white CS. I layered this on the tan CS and onto the card. The smaller square was made by inking up the single flower from Looks Like Spring thoroughly with Bisque and stamping in the centre, then half-inking the single flower with same and stamping around the dominant flower. I layered this on a very thin mat of tan CS and placed so the bottom of the white rectangle was about even with the bottom of the larger flower image.
The 'have a good day' was a happy accident caused by gutlessness. I was hesitant to stamp on a completed card, so I trimmed a piece of the same green Anna Griffin PP and stamped on it in Dark Moss to see how it would look, and I liked the subtle effect that resulted and decided to go with it.
Thanks for looking!

The patterned paper is lovely and I love the hot summer colors you used. They are almost like the end of a long hot summer when everything is in blazing sunshine!

I like the way the "have a good day" turned out too! Isn't it funny how accidents turn out to be good things for us sometimes! Stunning card!. Your Gallery sure is growing nicely.
