Using the Forever Florals main stamp ink with black Versafine and stamp onto the smaller piece to the left hand side. For stamping either use a stamping platform or an acrylic block.

Using Versacraft ink pads - Cerulean Blue, Lemon Yellow, Cherry Pink, Spring Green to colour in as follows.

Take your Cerulean blue and on the larger panel of white card press down and swipe a border around the edge. It only needs to be about 5mm wide so the stamped panel sits on the middle without any white space.

Taking a paint brush or water brush colour in the main stamped image.

Taking the larger solid flower shape ink with Lemon yellow and randomly stamp a couple of times. Repeat using the smaller solid flower stamp and your Cherry Pink ink. Then using the leaf stamp repeat with Spring Green.

On a small piece of stamping card stamp you sentiment and the I have taken the Cerulean ink pad and gone around the edge. Apply glue or double sided tape to the back and fix in place.

Wonderful Wreaths but not as you know them

This card utilises the Wonderful Wreath stamp set and you can probably use some of your scraps of white stamping card here.

Using a DL card as you base, proceed to cut from your stamping card the following:
- 1 x 8x15cm panel
- 1 x 8x3cm panel
- 4 x 4x4cm panels

Then using either a stamping platform or an acrylic block with Versafine black ink stamp using the floral half wreath four times around the edge of the largest panel.  Reink between each impression.

On some spare stamping card stamp again 5 times. Just the area of the half wreath that shows the one pointy flower you can cut around.

Stamp your sentiment onto the 8x3cm panel. Note with this stamp set I give you options to create your own sentences.

Using peach colour promarkers colour in the flowers. I have used three shades and picked the darkest for the main flower and the any green for the leaves.

Using any black pen and a ruler edge around the larger panel, the four squares and the sentiment.

Apply glue or a foam pad to the back of each flower and pop to one side for now.

Apply double sided tape or glue to all other panels. Fix to your card the sentiment first. The starting at the top fix the first square panel to your card. Overlap the other three squares as you stick them down.

Fix the four flowers in the centre of each square. Fix the fifth in the corner of the sentiment.

Apply a peach or other colour pearl to each of the flower centres.

Your card is now finished.

Blue Tulips Galore

This card uses the Tulips Galore stamp set.

Using an A6 card blank as your base. Cut from your stamping card two panels. One measuring 7.5cm square and the second measuring 5x14cm.

Using the large tulip stamp and either a stamping platform or an acrylic block with Versacraft black ink. Stamp the tulip on the square panel.  Using the smaller tulip stamp repeat stamp on the panel.

Colour in using two shades of promarkers (doesn't have to be blue).  I have used the darker shade for the background tulips. And then the lighter shade to fill in the background.  You don't need to colour the full panel as part will be covered up by the main topper.

Then glue or tape the stamped panels to blue pearlised paper. Cut around to layer them. Repeat with the sentiment.

Using glue or double sided tape fix them to your card.
