Stamp the images from Tulip Bouquet Cling Stamp Set, twice using black archival ink and cut them using its coordinating dies. Then paint the images with Zig Clean Clear Brush Markers. Create 2 separate layers, one with the flower pot and other with tulip flowers. Add dimensions to the image using foam dots.

Stamp the foliage from Rain Boots and Blossoms Cling Stamp Set using Olive Archival Ink and paint them using Leaf Green Archival Ink. Cut them using its coordinating die and shape them using delux flower shaping kit.

The birds are cut from the paper collection using Songs of Spring Die. The hearts are punched from the colored paper stash. Once all the elements are ready to assemble the card as shown and finish the card by tieing tags using Ornamental Tags Die.
