Postcard Samplers 2 and 3 in progress

Postcard sampler number 2 is a split stitched flower with satin stitch, cross stitch, running stitch, interlaced running stitch, and french knots (with the centre being clustered french knots) all in DMC 3805. It was stitched on the fabric from some fabric placemats I bought at a charity shop :)
