The same image was then stamped on scrap Basic White card with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Using Blending Brushes and the Thankful Garden Masks I added Fresh Freesia ink to the flowers. The trick is to lightly add it with mask 1, a little more ink with mask 2 to layer up the colour. With mask 3 I used Gorgeous Grape ink to add the detail. The leaves were coloured with Old Olive, lightly with mask 1 and another layer with mask 2. The image was then die cut using the Thankful Garden Dies.
