The green panel is 3 ¼” x 4 ¼” and its ½” from the top and side edges.
The flowerpots, blooms and leaves are all cut out and glued to the card. The stems are stamped on the panel. Flowerpots are coloring with re inker and artist brush, circles are colored with markers.
The card base is stamped with the circle of dots from Bodacious Boutique and dry embossed with BB template circle.
The green is stamped with Linen and ink distressed in its own color. The white is finger walked in Creamy Caramel with linen after it was stamped off. It is also ink distressed very lightly.
The vellum is wrapped to the back of the pink and held in place with tape. The pink panel was scrape cardstock that is mounted to a white card.

Love those potted flowers. The pierced vellum is nice too.

This is so pretty, and I am very impressed with your patience for cutting out all those flowers; so well worth it. I haven't seen the ol' Mint Melody used in quite some time either. It looks great here!
