The stamped layer was laid face down and strip of Tear n Tape was added to the bottom edge and the right-hand side.

On scrap Basic White card, I stamped the sentiment from the Poised Peony stamp set in Flirt Flamingo ink. I used a die from the Enduring Beauty die set to cut out the image. I ran the sentiment through twice as I wanted the tag to be smaller. A hole was punched in the label and a piece of Lemon Lolly Baker’s Twine fed through. I fed the twine through the ribbon and tied it in a bow.

The smaller flowers were inked with Gray Granite ink and the centres coloured with Basic Gray ink. Soft Sea Foam ink was then used for the base colour of the leaves. The more detailed layer was added to the leaves using the same ink. I fussy cut the roses using sharp scissors.

The sentiment, from the Something Fancy stamp set, was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the die cut label – cut using the Nested Essentials Dies. I added the small flowers on either side and coloured them in with Soft Sea Foam and Gray Granite Blends. This was then added to the card front on Dimensionals and tucked the flowers underneath.

A scattering of Basic Gray and Smoky Slate Pearls finished the card
