Add this panel to the Marina Mist with a 1/8″ border.
All stamping is done using the Stamp-a-ma-gig.
Color your stamp using the markers; Marina Mist for the flower and Always Artichoke for the stems.  Huff on the stamp, then line up with the Stamp-a-ma-gig and stamp on the remaining Very Vanilla panel.

Add the Very Vanilla panel to the Marina Mist panel.
