For my card today I am using Dies by Memory Box called Bouquet Blooms and Leaves. Using Arches Cold Press paper I die cut the flowers and stems I wanted to use for my card. 

I found it easiest to wet the die cut first, then apply the pen and blend out the colours. I combined colours for most all my flowers, pink and orange, red and pink, orange and pink, and used the greens on the leaves.

Using a Sizzix die I cut the oval piece and embossed using the Tim Holtz Doily Folder. 

On a separate piece of cardstock I applied distress oxide inks in Saltwater Taffy, Worn Lipstick and Spiced Marmalade. I made two of these, one for the front of my card and one for the inside.

Using a Perfect Pearl Confetti White mixture and water I sprayed both of the distress oxide panels which adds more sparkle.

Once the Perfect Pearls was dry I splattered the piece for the front of the card with Bleedproof White watercolour and let dry.

To put the card together I applied foam tape to the back of the front panel and attached it to my card base. I then attached the oval die, again using foam tape and finished the card with the sentiment stamped using VersaFine Clair ink in Nocturne.
