Large all occasion card featuring a silhouette of flowers with a watercoloured background over a paper pieced background

Another image from my stash - Dover silhouette of wild flowers.  I watercoloured the background and the laser printing acts as a resist - works so well.  I added a strip of yellow with pewter eyelet and cut a slot on the edge of the Queen Anne's Lace so I could get the strip to the other side.  I punched a slot (SU) to get the strip back to the front.  Still thinking it needed a bit of something I added a faux stitching border and that was better!!  I paper pieced a background using scraps of paper in blues and then embossed it.  I adhered by background to my green card and then added my wildflowers using 3D foam tape to give it a bit of dimension.
