My first thought was bees when I saw this color combination, but I had a new stamp, stencil, & die set from Pinkfresh Studios that I really want to play with, so.......
I used the Botanical Bunch stencils first with 4 different shades of yellow for the flowers, and then black & gray for the leaves. Once I finished stenciling, I used the coordinating stamp with black ink to outline all the flowers and leaves, and then used the die to cut it all out.
I used foam tape behind the image before adhering to a layer that I used the Stitched Diamonds cover plate die on (PFS), and then adhered both to a black layer and a white card base. The "just a note" sentiment comes with the stamp set and was embossed in white on a black strip and then adhered with foam tape also. Some black & white twine and a bit of glitter in the flower centers finished off my card.
