I inked around the edges of the die cut greeting and adhered the die cut to the stamped panel trimming off the excess.

The decorated panel was then glued to the Daffodil Delight layer which was then mounted onto the Night of Navy card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Latte Love stamp set, was stamped in Versamark ink onto scrap Blueberry Bushel, covered with White Embossing Powder and set using a Heat Tool. I trimmed it down with Scissors and added it to the card front.
