The Bloom & Grow Bundle from the upcoming 2019-2020 Annual Catalog includes three big sprays of flowers along with coordinating clusters of flowers and leaves, and they can all be cut out with coordinating framelits.

The Wood Textures designer series paper stack provides a rustic natural background for these pretty flowers made with “Painted Harvest”. I used three different patterns in a similar shade here, and they contrast beautifully with the doily (retired) and Gingham Ribbon.
