To begin, I stamped the narcissus flowers, from Elegant Florals, using Memento Espresso Truffle ink.

Next I began coloring with my Y17 Copic® marker.

Then added Y21.

For the stems, I used YG25.

Then shaded with YG95. After coloring, I cut out the image.

Next I used my Spellbinders™Labels Four die template to cut and emboss Pure Luxury Ivory card stock, then sponged with Gina K Fresh Asparagus ink.

Then sponged using Gina K Innocent Pink ink.

I stamped one of the foliage images using Gina K Innocent Pink ink.

I cut and embossed a piece of the Petals and Wings pattern paper using Spellbinders Elegant Labels 4, using Gina K Innocent Pink.

Then cut another piece of Petals and Wings pattern paper and sponged the edges using Gina K Innocent Pink ink.

I cut and embossed Pure Luxury Ivory using a Spellbinders Charmed I'm Sure die template, then sponged with Gina K Fresh Asparagus.

And stamped the sentiment using Memento Espresso Truffle.

I assembled the layers onto an Ivory card front, attached a bow and added the tag.

Thanks for visiting. I hope you have a fabulous day!
