This was a lovely sketch, and I felt didn't need much by way of embellishment. When it's time to use the card I may add a sentiment in the optional slot, but for the moment I left it off. Apologies for making the tall panel a bit wider - when I planned it this morning I envisaged the flower without the foliage, but DH happened to be in my room when I was stamping it with and without to look at, and he wanted it with .
The base is 5 1/2" square. Next layer is Basic Grey Two Scoops, cut just 1/4" smaller. The blue layer is some chiyogami paper. The image was stamped on watercolour paper with Versafine Olympia Green and coloured with watercolour pencils. I added a scrap of yellow cotton lace and rounded the other two corners, and that was it...
Thanks for such a great sketch, Roxie. Off work tomorrow so hope to try again, this time with a narrower panel ;-)

Your yellow crochet border is the perfect finishing touch to your simple and lovely design. The blues and yellow are perfect together, thanks for sharing!

Very Pretty. I like how you've incorporated the leaves with the flower. I love your warm setting for your photo as well. Just look at those strawberries coming along!!
