This design is a joy to make - so much fun to watch it all come together.

With the inside 'petals' I recommend stitching all the lines facing the same way BEFORE you stitch the lines crossing these - that way you will have them all crossing at the same point. I use only 1 strand of DMC variegated embroidery thread and recommend that you stitch the long stitch up the middle of the petals TWICE to make it match the thickness of all the other lines on the card.

To finish I trimmed the stitched card close to the outside line of beads, flat stuck this to a contrasting yellow, then added it all to a paler green base card.
