I stamped the trio of tulips, twice on the on the smaller panel of Basic White card with Granny Apple Green ink. I added a row of grass using the same colour and coloured the leaves using the same colour again.

I added colour to the flowers by masking them off one at a time and stamped using Petunia Pop, Calypso Coral and Daffodil Delight ink. The panel was then glued to the Secret Sea layer and then to the Petunia Pop card front.
