Thank you - Just Add Ink Sketch Challenge

Here's how I made the flower:
1.  Emboss large flower and leaves from Flower Fancy Stamp Set on Vellum, using black embossing powder. Stamp and emboss a second center of  the flower.
2.  Colour back side of flowers with Pretty in Pink, and shaded with Regal Rose.  The leaves were coloured with Old Olive and shaded with Always Artichoke. Centers coloured with So Saffron and More than Mustard markers.
3.  After cutting out the flowers, emboss with Finial Embossing folder.  Cut out second set of flower centers and using stamping dimensionals place on top of centers of main flower.
4.  Cut out the leaves.
5.  Arrange the flowers and leaves on card and attach using glue dots.
The rest of the card was made with the following:
Stamps:  Flower Fancy, All in a Flutter, With All My Heart
Paper:  Old Olive, vellum, Sweet Pea designer paper, Pretty in Pink , Whisper white
Ink:  Versa mark, basic black, markers as indicated above.
Other:  Finial and polka dot embossing folders, old olive ribbon, scallop oval punch
