  4. stamp the 3 green leaves using 2 step stamping for the lemon lime twist leaf
  5. for the flowers use the markers to ink up the stem and buds and then stamp (don't forget to huff before stamping)
  6. punch out these pieces and then punch out a further 2 sets in vellum
  7. die cut a scalloped circle with the dsp
  8. to stamp the sentiment, ink the stamp first in versamark and then flirty flamingo before stamping
  9. add the embossing powder and heat
  10. punch out the sentiment using the circle punch
