Updated Version
There is a card of mine that seems to be always popping up on Pinterest, after a bit of checking this card comes from 2012 in March. I discovered I had actually cased this card.
When I saw the stamp in the Simon Says Stamp August kit which unfortunately has now sold out and even the individual Modern Rose stamp is now out of stock but I would use the notify when back in stock key that's how I brought their bicycle die which is now winging its way over the Atlantic as we speak. There is no reason why another large background stamp could work the same way.
I used a stamp positioner and stamp the 6inch stamp.
Instead of making my own strips by measuring and cutting, I used the Simon says Stamp Stitched Banners. I cut with the one up from the smallest and cut five full banners, then using the die again but cutting the straight end of the die and now with what would be the waste. I lined the straight ends across my card. This allows for the proper length banner cut down to the size I want.
I made the flower banner using Simon Says Stamp Stitched borders and added a bit of green card, you can use ribbon. My large flower is Simon says Stamp Stitched Daisies and it's leaves are Forget me Knot flowers.
Using the banner across the card trim the small ends to fit underneath it. Then add the full length banners trimming the ends so they too are hidden under the flower banner. Leave enough room for a sentiment I've used the Simon says Stamp Thoughtful Messages and the hearts are from the other stamp set in the kit called Mandy's Flowers and at this moment still available to order and look out for the dies they are coming soon.
We had rain yesterday can't believe how excited everyone was, thankfully the temperature as dropped a bit, maybe I'll get more time in my craft room and PC.

The pretty floral banners look great Debby, and love the strip across with that delightful die cut daisy and leaves, and the more muted tone works really well, and I love the little hearts and sentiment too. A gorgeous card. x

Very pretty. Love the daisy and the strips with the background stamp. TFS
So pretty, Deb. I like this version better. Everything pops on it. And the stitched banners finish it so nicely. TFS
I liked reading your process for making this card. It gave me some ideas for a stamp and die set that I have. I think I could actually make something similar. Thanks for the inspiration, Debby! Your card is lovely.
Absolutely gorgeous Debby. Love the green xx
So pretty, lovely colour and fab layout too!
