Used a floral image, but the main "back to nature" element is using some handmade paper a friend had made incorporating 20% lavender buds and leaves into her pulp.(she even made a note of that when she gave it to me.)
Fortunately, it took the ink stamping well with no bleeding. I liked its inherent irregular edges and used a tearing ruler to duplicate the effect on the other two sides.

I was hoping someone would use handmade paper, Sallie! The simple floral spray and sentiment let the beauty of the paper shine through. Did it retain any of the fragrance? Thanks for getting back to nature and playing in my challenge.

Sallie, this is gorgeous! The handmade paper is awesome with the texture and specles, and such a bonus to have it stamp well. Your colouring of the floral spray is exquisite.
