The spray of flowers were stamped on top of the stems in Gorgeous Grape ink. I stamped it again, without re-inking and slightly rotated.

The butterflies were stamped in Pool Party ink. At this point I stamped a small sentiment directly onto the panel ……… and it wasn’t straight……. Aaaahhh. I glued the stamped panel to the Gorgeous Grape layer.

The spray of flowers was stamped in 2^nd generation, or stamped off, Fresh Freesia ink in the upper left and lower right corners of the Fresh Freesia card front. The decorated panel was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I stamped a different, slightly larger sentiment onto scrap Basic White card and trimmed it down. It didn’t quite cover the squint sentiment so I added a layer of Pool Party card before adding it to the card front.
