I cut a piece of cardstock to the same size as my card blank. I used an embossing folder to add some texture before I glued this piece flat onto my card blank. I cut a panel of copic friendly cardstock and stamped my image, then coloured this using copics. I cut a strip of mirri card and a smaller strip of white cardstock. I stamped my sentiment on to the thin white strip. I then glued the image panel and strips together to follow the sketch. Onto the back of this, I added funky foam to create dimension and secured it to my card blank with tape and silicone glue. I added sparkle to the image to complete the card.

• SU!-too kind & happy birthday everyone 
• SU! Ink pad- calypso coral & pear pizzazz

I cut a mat of white cardstock and stamped my floral images. I used the same coral ink pad for the two step stamping, by 2nd generation stamping to create the lighter shade. I inked the card blank with the same coloured ink pad to coordinate with the flowers. I stamped the sentiment slightly overlapping the flower stems and added glitter over it to complete the card.

I cut a matt of card stock and stamped my image in the top portion of the panel. I used watercolour pencils and ink pads to water color my image and add a ombre effect background.
