First, I used a blending brush to add Daffodil Delight as a sunny background. You can also sponge on the color, if you do not have a blending brush.

Next, I used my markers to color directly onto the stamp (markering). I used Real Red for the roses and Granny Apple Green for the stems and leaves. I activated the ink with a puff of my breath and then stamped them. One in the center and another off to the side.

I stamped my sentiment, using Garden Green, in the top center of the card.

Next, I added three flowers to fill and balance the card. I used Highland Heather as the outline color.

I then filled the three flowers (2nd step) with Fresh Freesia. I used Polished Pink to fill the roses.

As a filler, I added a few leaf outlines in Garden Green.

Lastly, I added two butterflies, a few pearls, and adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
