Here's my card, and I did get a flower on there...

This fabulous image is Birthday Burger Birdbrain, coloured with promarkers.
I've used one of FOUR bonus sentiments that you also get when you buy it.

The striped paper is by Papermania (capsule collection/spots & stripes/jewels) and the grey circle behind the image is a scrap of Paper Pizazz cardstock by HOTP.

I originally thought i'd just use the sketch, as I reeeeally wanted to use this image, and as I'd also planned on making this card for a man, I don't normally use flowers on masculine cards. Remember, you don't have to use the twist if you don't want to.
However, I happened to glance across to my flowers and there looking back at me out of its clear plastic tube, was a lime green mulberry flower, and I thought...lettuce!
I duffed up the edges of the flower slightly, and gave them a light sponging in a slightly darker green ink. I then cut a square of yellow 'cheese', glued it onto the 'lettuce' and placed the sentiment next to my embellishment. It was missing something, lettuce and cheese need tomato, right? but I didn't just want to punch a red circle, I wanted it to look as though it had seeds in the tomato slice, so I grabbed my markers and drew on to the punched circle. It doesn't look as it looked in my head lol, but I s'pose you can tell that it's a tomato slice.

I'd like to enter this card at:
