Yesterday I tried a new technique. I wandered over to my neighbour's lawn and plucked a couple of dandelion flowers from it. These are weeds but the flowers are quite pretty and delicate.
I added inks to them and stamped them on to cream cardstock. One of the inks was glimmer mist so the card does shimmer a little. I enjoyed this technique and believe I will employ it again in the future.
I made this card for a series of challenges for World Card Making day being run by Mitzi over at Soul-scrappers. She wanted us to have a person, a thing and a place. My place is a garden, the person is the rose fairy and the thing is the flower.
Budget tip: The Rose Fairy is actually a clothing tag. I keep these to use on my cards. Some of them are stunning as they are or they can be embellished easily. I just added some twine.

Nice description of how you came up with this beauty of a card. And what a beautiful clothing tag! It must come from a particular line of clothing? I like to save odds and ends like this, too, to add to my cards or pages.
