Cow parsley Thank You

Make My Monday's floral challenges continue this week, with wild flowers and grasses.  I looked at the DT's cards and was overawed with their creations, so many stamps! Well, I have just the one I wanted to use, a Deezines stamp featuring a single stem of cow parsley, one of my hegderow favourites. I used the resist technique to make the backing paper and then made a topper with the same stamp, ebossed in snowflake white, with a hint of sparkle. I spotted just the right ribbon in my local craft shop and I hope I've come up with somwthing which fits the challenge.  The cardstock is purple too, a darker shade of the topper card, but in the photo it looks blue :(
