For this card, I used a shaped card base that came in a kit I once bought.  Onto the base card I stamped the two swirls (which came, I believe from a personal impressions set).  I coloured the leaves with promarkers and used some very small gems to highlight them.  

I stamped the sentiment (which came from a SWALK stamp set) onto the opposite corners.  The image (Hobbyart?) was stamped onto plain white card, and after being coloured with promarkers, was cut out with a standard oval nestie.  The bottom layer was cut from the next size up nestie, but a scalloped oval, and was then coloured around the edge with one of the promarkers used to colour the mushroom.  Finally, some ribbon was tied at the side with a simple knot.
