Here's my card using the "Black Eyed Susans For Encouragement" stamp set:

For my card, I stamped the black eyed susans, colored them with Copics, then added glass micro beads to the centers of the flowers.  I used a Martha Stewart punch to make the blue lattice.  I completed the card by adding a sentiment and ribbon.

I am not on the list for today's blog hop, but below is the list of blog participants:

    I like the blue and brown behind your black-eyed susans. And microbeads for the flower centers -- what a great idea!!!
