First, I cut 6" of the Natural Finish Ribbon and stamped the sentiment using StazOn Jet Black ink. I set it aside to make sure it dried completely. (It dries very quickly, but I didn't want to take any chances.)

Next, I stamped and colored a magnolia, using markers. I then used the Magnolia Memory Dies to cut it. I set this aside next to the ribbon.

I then used a scrap of Gold Foil Paper to die cut a cross with the Cross of Hope Framelits. I actually used the frame around the die cut cross for this card. The solid gold frame, I used on another card.

To accent the cross and make sure it did not get lost among the magnolias, I punched a 1" circle of Petal Pink card-stock and adhered the cross frame, using the Fine Tip Glue Pen.

My next step was to assemble my card. 

I added a few glue dots to the back of the stamped Natural Finish Ribbon and adhered it to the bottom portion of my Magnolia Lane DSP. I added some Stampin' Seal+ to the back of the DSP panel and wrapped the rest of the ribbon to the back of it. I adhered this panel to the Basic Black matte with some liquid adhesive.

I then adhered the Petal Pink circle with the cross to the top portion of the panel and added the die cut magnolia next to the sentiment with some dimensionals.

I adhered this panel to the Petal Pink card front and added the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Lastly, I added a Basic Pearl Jewel to the Magnolia.
