I inked up the tall bottle with Tahitian Tide ink and stamped it onto the small panel of Basic White card.

I wanted to have 2 colours of flowers in the bouquet so added the Sweet Sorbet and Orchid Oasis inks using the 2022 – 2024 In Color Stamp ‘n Write Markers. Such a great technique. The leaves were then added in Parakeet Party ink.

At this point I decided I needed some of the smaller bottles in the picture. I initially tried masking off the original bottle but wasn’t happy with the results and ended up stamping the bottles in Starry Sky and Sweet Sorbet ink onto scrap Basic White card and fussy cutting them out. The Sweet Sorbet bottle was cut down and added with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and the Starry Sky bottle added on Dimensionals.

I stamped the floral image in the upper left and lower right corner of the Tahitian Tide card front using Tahitian Tide ink. The stamped panel was then added with liquid glue.

The sentiment was stamped in Starry Sky ink onto the strip of Basic White, trimmed down and flagged before it was added to the card front.

A bow made from the Starr Sky Ribbon and a trio of the 2022 – 2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots were added to complete the card.

I absolutely love all the new colours, they are such bright, vibrant happy colours.

A garden green strip of card was glued to either side of the stamped panel. I laid the panel down on the card front and stamped some fish, matching them up where possible with those on the panel.
