I was asked to make the card suitable for posting without anything being spoiled ... as flat as possible. It's an 8 x 8 card so it will still require a large letter stamp, but there are no awkward bits sticking up.
I decided to use a long neglected lovely Penny Black stamp 'sweet peas' inked with memento and coloured with spectrum noir pens. This was then cut out with a todo cross hatch die, using a larger one to cut some Hunkydory card as a layer. The background card was embossed with an Embossalicious folder (doesn't really show up much here). Other bits and pieces from stash, including the Hobbycraft ribbon with bow.
