This is my card for TLC429. Sometimes I think I try too hard. Not sure if I like it or not, but I will sleep on it. I stamped flowers from SU Paint Prints in varying shades of darkness/softness around the card with SU Eggplant Envy and Ranger Distressed Peeled Paint.
On top of those I stamped the big flower (which I forgot to mark, sorry) twice with Archival Jet Black I added a jewel, a piece of burlap and and piece of corrugated cardboard to which I mounted the sentiment. I do like this idea.

Carol, this turned out really lovely. The soft focus blossom in green and lavender are a pretty bg for your silhouetted flower. The burlap patches are a lovely textural addition.

Just love this card and I didn't have to sleep on it to decide. Love the overall soft feel and the rustic accents of the burlap and cardboard. NEVER would have thought of that. Now I have to research what Bokeh is.

This one just popped out at me! I love it! I truly thought you stamped on designer paper until I read your description. Great touch with the corrugated cardboard and burlap.
