Live Life in Full Bloom

I have several Uniko Flower Power stamp sets and have just bought this new set in their recent sale.  I made this card using the colours from the current CAS Colours and Sketches colour challenge.

To make this card I used:
     5.5" x 4.25" white matt card blank
     Uniko 'Flower Power #10' stamps
     Uniko 'Flower Power #1-6' die (to cut the leaves)
     My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitches Rectangle STAX Die-namics' die
     Versafine Majestic Blue and Olympia Green ink
     Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail embossing powder
     Copics - B29, G29 & RV29
     Snippets of white matt card

I used blue ink to stamp the flower and green ink to stamp the leaves onto a snippet of white card.  These were embossed with clear embossing powder.  I cut the leaves using the die from the Flower Power #1-6 die set and fussy cut the flower.  I used the green Copic to colour the leaves and centre of the flower, blue to colour around the flower centre and red for the flower petals.  I die cut another snippet of white card using the largest rectangle die and placed it into my MISTI before laying the flower onto the panel so I could see where to place the sentiment.  I stamped the sentiment with blue ink and embossed it with clear embossing powder.  I then attached the panel to the front of the card blank.  The leaves were attached to the left of the sentiment and the flower attached above the stem with a foam pad.
