Whilst researching into florist and nature themed business cards I came across this example below. Judging by the amount of detail contained in areas such as the leaves and the crisp edges of the petals, I would guess that these are high quality scans or photographs which have then been carefully cut out on photoshop or illustrator. The flowers show signs of alteration especially with the colour in terms of hue and saturation, tones and highlights, and exposure. 

The image gives the illusion of two whole flowers however upon closer inspection it appears as if the designer has employed a collage like effect, using multiple images arranged together to form the body of a flower. The other image on the other hand goes for a different approach and continues with the same style yet opts for a symmetrical layout.

The overall design gives of a very soft and elegant look, which is very similar to the colour quality of old posters, which presumably is the reason for the saturation and exposure levels. The collage effect is something which works really well and the absence of drop shadows works in its favour. The majority of the work would be achievable in photoshop with the image editing.
