Here is what the stamp of the month looks like:

Here is what I made using this stamp set:

I used the Wishes How - To book pattern Top View for a 3 1/2 x 8 card.
I used some paper from the Wanderful Paper Packet (blue & white polka dot).  I used Colonial white as my card base.  I used Flaxen and Smoothie Cardstock also.

I stamped "A Happy Hello" in Smoothie ink right on the card base.  I stamped the stem of the flower in Flaxen in right on the card.  I stamped the flower base in Smoothie Ink, the next image in Crystal Blue Ink and then the inside image in Smoothie ink.  I put a green epoxy bubble in the center from the Blue & Green Epoxy Bubble set.  I did use 3-d foam tape to pop the flower and the strips.  I used some Flaxen Extra Thick twine to tie around the strips.  I used a sponge dauber in Flaxen ink to distress all the pieces. 

Better view of the flower with the 3-d foam tape.
