The stamen (or is it the pistil?) on the flower are crystals from Impress...they are the prettiest rusty brown color...I've had them for ages but never had a use for them...until today
The wasabi background was created by repeating one of the sentiments from Time Well Spent - lined up with my Stamp-a-ma-jig. I felt like the white stitching in the wasabi ribbon was too stark compared to the ivory paper, so just pulled the stitching out.
Thanks for looking!

The crystals would be the pollen sacs on top of the stamen, and this is a lovely card! That background must have taken some time, but it sure is pretty.
