stamp large Zinnia image on a scrap piece of white cardstock and diecut out and color as shown.- i used Stampin Blends - flirty flamingo melon mambo and berry burst and old olive but whatever color you want to use - the colors are lifted from the DSP colors.

Stamp sentiment on a banner punched with Banners Pick a punch (retiring)

stamp sentiment in Memento Tuxedo black in front and on the banner. mount with dimensionals. 

Here I used the poppy parade cardstock embossed with zinnia folder and a piece of zinnia DSP bordered with a sliver of gold peeking .after I stamped the flowers on the scrap white and coloring it in I used the poppy parade stampin blends to color in the outside- I have a pet peeve about the white border showing- so I usually use white background so it will not show...

Embossing folders add such texture to the background I really love it! More often than not I will add some embossing folder texture instead of leaving it plain.
