I used PTI's The Sweet Life roses and Hero Arts ferns and stamped my arrangement on a piece of white cardstock. Then I centered the love die from Wplus9's Seasonal Sentiments and also cut 4 other pieces from plain white cardstock. Next I assembled the words from Winnie & Walter's The Big, the Bold, and You, and stamped them below my floral image. The stamped panel had its bottom corners rounded and then affixed to a card base, and then I glued all of the die-cuts together and added that to the card front in its place. Really simple, just takes a bit of care.
Now that I'm feeling more confident making this type of card, I need to get some "fatter" dies, like this one; most of my sentiment dies are pretty skinny and I think they'd get lost in the busy-ness of a stamped image like this one.
