Once I stamped the flowers, I decided to create a more layered background.
The Circle Quilt Cover Die is perfect for this.

The pale greens from the Tropical set are perfect for stems, leaves, and the pale color behind th cover die. An ink blended green background is my favorite to use on card fronts.
