  1. Stamp leaf image from Embrace Life repeatedly along the bottom of the big Almost Amethyst cardstock piece (4 1/4" x 5 1/2") using Almost Amethyst ink

  4. Colour flower with blender pen using Lavender Lace ink. Colour edges (where petals overlap and fold) with the Lavender Lace marker to make them darker. Cut out flower.

  7. Center square of Almost Amethyst cardstock to Lavender Lace cardstock. Adhere.

  9. Use white gel pen to free hand draw squiggly lines around the white cardstock piece
