Today's challenge was to use flowers for May Day tomorrow. I had this Hero stamp which I hadn't used yet. It is one of their stamps where you are really putting down the background. A reverse silhouette really. I used my Copics to give the hollyhocks their dimension.

What gorgeous hollyhocks, Sallie!! Perfect for this challenge. I like how you used that arched lattice border punch, too. Your bow made out of that hand-dyed (by you??) crinkle ribbon is absolutely stunning. Wonderful work on this

So striking .... love how you added the colors with your Copics. Your hand-dyed crinkle ribbon is so lovely and soft ... the perfect addition to your card.
