I used the Country Flowers Dies to cut out the image and coloured it with the following Blends Pens – Petal Pink, Petunia Pop, Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lolly & Granny Apple Green. The coloured flowers were then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Simply Said stamp set was stamped in Petunia Pop ink onto scrap Basic White card, trimmed down and added to the card front.

A double Lemon Lolly Twine bow and a trio of Shiny Sequins completed the card. So pretty.
