The leafy sprig was inked up with Versamark ink and covered with God Embossing Powder, I repeated this step before heat setting the images with my heat tool.

I stamped the single flower randomly in Versamark ink and covered it with Silver Embossing Powder. I heat set all the images.

Using the following Blends Alcohol Markers to colour in the images – Petal Pink, Sweet Sorbet and Soft Succulent. I used a Blending Brush to add Soft Succulent ink around the edges of the decorated panel.

The panel was then glued to the Sweet Sorbet layer. A length of Linen Thread was wrapped three times around the panel before the whole piece was glued to the Soft Succulent card base.

I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink. I die cut it out using the Sentiment Silhouette Dies. I added the sentiment to the card front on Dimensionals.

Using the Eden Dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, I cut the detailed edge from both strips of Polished Pink card and adhered them to either side of the stamped panel. The whole piece was then added to the Thick Basic White card front on Dimensionals.

I also die cut a smaller tag from both the Basic Gray and smaller Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Blessings of Home stamp set in Basic Gray ink onto the Basic White tag. The tags were then glued together using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I die cut a hole protector from scrap Polished Pink card and glued it to the tags. I fed the Glittered Organdy Ribbon through the hole and tied a piece of Simply Elegant Trim in a bow around the organdie ribbon. The tags were then mounted on Dimensionals on the card front.
