Verve flowers and beautifully scripted sentiments...it doesn't get much better than that! :-) I embossed the sentiment onto a die cut oval layer and sponged some yellow ink on, keeping the ink heavier towards the bottom. I embellished the sentiment with two of the large flowers. Having the coordinating die set (Blooming Die Set) makes quick work of adding the flowers!
I tucked in a few leaves from the Sprightly Sprigs Die Set.
