Stamped and watercolored the bouquet. The paper wrapper was cut with a die and then stamped with an all-over design. The watercolored image had to be slit in areas so the wrapper would go in behind the lower flowers. The wrapper was shaded with watercolor and the twine added.

Sallie, what a knock-out this is. I love the wrapper and your gorgeous flowers. I think it was a perfect idea to not push out the holes in the background die. Beautiful card.

Gorgeous! You did a phenomenal job on your watercolor/shading of the flowers/wrap. Cutting the paper is a fabulous idea and the design is perfect. The headline, the die-cut BG, and the tie are all beautifully done.
