The flowers and leaves were stamped above and below the masked area making sure to stamp the flower bases onto the Masking Paper. I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I used the following Blends Pens to colour the flowers and leaves – Flirty Flamingo, Lemon Lolly, Granny Apple Green and Crumb Cake. The Masking Tape was then removed.

The sentiment, from the Layered Thoughts stamp set was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the 3½” by ⅞” strip of Basic White card. I glued this piece to the Basic Black strip and added it to the card on Dimensionals.

The word ‘you’ was stamped on the small piece of Basic Black card with Versamark ink, covered with White Embossing Powder and set with my Heat Tool. I added it to the card.
