Sunflower shaker card

I know summer is pushing it a bit, but the weather has been so lovely the last week I dream of it.  This card, of a sunflower, was inspired by Tami White- I took the liberty of making a few changes.
The card base is Very Vanilla 5 by 5" upon which I placed a strip of chocolate brown cardstock and a piece of brown dotted designer paper now retired.  A 1/4" chocolate chip grosgrain ribbon was tied around the bottom.
The flower itself was made using 3 punches:  the small oval punch, the medium punch and the boho blossom punch. Each petal end was chipped out with a 3/4" punch.
All pieces were sponged with chocolate chip ink.
The center is  a flattened version of the SU treat cup.  I filled it with beads that resemble the middle of a sunflower.
The large pieces were placed first, and the small ones placed in between the large ones.
The sentiment is "From My Garden" .  The boho blossom with a brown brad completed the picture.
