5. Add a color wash of Soft Sky ink to a 3-1/2” x 2-1/2” piece of Water Color Paper. Stamp the stem  using an Old Olive Stampin’ Write Marker and stamp the daisy flower from the Daisy Delight in Melon Mambo and Powder Pink inks over the color wash.  Add a Bakers’ Twine bow and  a little “bling” to the front of the card.

Tutorial: Jar of Lemonade Card
