Details to come. Have to go rescue my DH who is on highway with two flat tires. DH is ok but car won't be fixed until tomorrow. He hit a large piece of metal on the highway. There were two other cars with two flat tires. We were lucky that there was not a serious pile up.
To make this card, I inked the sunflower image with Calypso Coral ink (artistic license invoked) and then used a Chocolate Chip ink spot to ink the flower center. I stamped this onto Very Vanilla CS. I colored the petals with a blender pen and So Saffron ink and some Lost Lagoon ink in places.
I outlined the petals with a Chalk Marker. I used the Chocolate Chip marker to add detail into the flower center and added Lost Lagoon ink to the center as well. I masked the flower and used a piece of scrunched plastic wrap to add Old Olive ink to the edges. I cut the flower into three strips and layered onto Calypso Coral CS. I cut a strip of recycled packaging and layered some ribbon scraps onto that. Originally I layered all of this onto a Lost Lagoon card, but it just didn't work, so I used Old Olive instead and added a butterfly, colored with Olive and Lost Lagoon. So there is not a lot of Lost Lagoon, but it is there.

Kathy, first of all I hope your DH is OK, and that the car will be driveable very soon. Bummer!
Now to your card. It's beautiful! I tried to envision your beautiful sunflower panel on Lost Lagoon, and I think you made a good decision to go with Old Olive. And yes I see some Lost Lagoon on the butterfly! Thanks for describing the steps you took to make the card.
