Stamp the large swirly flower to the left of the die-cut and onto a Post-It Note. Cut out the mask and place onto the stamped flower. Stamp the medium swirly flower head to the right of the first flower overlapping it slightly. Remove the mask. Draw in the stem of the left flower and stamp the larger open leaves to the left and right of the stem. Stamp the left leaf onto a Post-It Note, cut out and place over the stamped leaf. Stamp the left flourish with leaf to the left of the panel, positioning it over the left leaf (with mask on). Remove the mask. Draw in the stem of the second flower so it goes behind the right leaf. Stamp a small right open leaf to the right of this stem then join all the leaves to their relevant stems using the fine black pen. Colour as described for the main card in the magazine.
