Stamp the flower cluster in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on the White cardstock (3 1/2" x 3 1/2")
Ink the large flower filler stamp in Bumbleebee, stamp onto scrap paper, then stamp once on scrap paper, then stamp the large flower with the stamped off (2nd generation) ink
Ink the small flower filler stamp in Highland Heather ink, then stamp once on scrap paper, then stamp the small flower with the stamped off (2nd generation) ink
Ink the filler stamp for the leaves in Mint Macaron ink, then stamp once on scrap paper, then stamp leaves with the stamped off (2nd generation) ink (do this for each leaf)
Die cut the flowers with the 2nd largest scallped layering circles die
Stamp the sentiment in Versamark ink and cover with White Stampin' Emboss Powder; heat set with the heat tool
Trim the sentiment on an angle, on the right edge
Adhere Layer #1, Layer #2, and the die cut flower scalloped circle to the Misty Moonlight cardbase with the adhesive of your choice (tip: Stampin' Seal+ works best for the vellum as it won't be visible withoout a close-up look -- apply to the center and a tiny amount to each corner)
Adhere the sentiment with Stampin' Dimensionals
Adhere the inside layers (White and DSP strip) to the inside of the cardbas

Meetup Group
Find all my events and classes in one place! Have you ever used Meetup? What is Meetup? Meetup is a service used to organize online groups that host in-person and virtual events for people with similar interests. My vision for this group is to gather crafters together -- online and/or in person (when possible) -- for a fun time creating projects, learning new techniques, and of course, meeting other likeminded crafters. This group is for anyone and everyone, no matter your skill level. This group is open to everyone, globally!
I schedule events for making cards, scrapbooking, gift packaging, and more. I also coordinate my card classes to go via Meetup.
