Flower power

I've been taking part in Sharon B's Stitch Explorer Challenge. Find out all about it here. This month's challenge is casalguidi work. Casalguidi work is normally worked on linen , starting with a pulled stitch background. Motifs are worked on top of this using detached buttohole stitch and casalguidi stitch (traditionally raised stem stitch band worked over a bundle of threads)

I had this in my hand, ready to embellish - so what else could I do with it??
