I love adding extra dimensional to “ layered” chipboard! So add miscellaneous flowers from your stash and a chipboard stamp from Simple Stories Simple Vintage Country Harvest - 12x12 Collector''s Essential Kit.

You can see my little flower had a white center, so I recolored it with dimensional paint to coordinate with the card. Add butterfly to finish off your Bright & Cheery Thinking of You Card.
