I just LOVE 6"x6" cards and this is no different!!! I used a lot of edge distressing, paper tearing (which sometimes 'just happens' when you edge distress with B&T) and ink distressing! I hope you like...
Here is a view of the dimension of the front and a peak at the inside of the card....The center of the flower is a circle cut from one of the B&T papers included in Twitterpated paper packet (one of my NEW favorites!!!). A 3-D Foam Square was a little too much dimension so I just cut several circles (5, I think) and layered them on top of each other...I've been doing to this A LOT to add dimension...it's a GREAT way to use up those scraps!!!
The inside of the card....
All products used are CTMH:
Paper Packet: NEW Twitterpated
Stamp Set: Treasures (September SOTM)
Inks: Sorbet, Chocolate, Crystal Blue & Creme Brulee
Circle Coluzzle (no longer avaialable through CTMH)

Here is another 6"x6" card I have made using this Stamp of the Month... 
To make the sun, you will stamp one of the "blooms" over and over again as shown below:
Here's how to get the tree.....(trunk)
Bend stem stamp to get tree branches....
Stamp the tree-top....
I used Twitterpated pp again and this time used Sweet Leaf in addition to the other inks!!!
