I chose the Mon Ami stamp set and Mon Ami Fleur Fri Dies to create my card. The process to make this was very easy, let me share this with you:

1. Cut the base of the card using Basic Black card stock. The size is 4-1/4″x11″ with score in 5-1/2″.
2. Cut a second layer using a decorated paper. I choose the beige color with a little scrip on the background.
3. Sponge the second layer using VersaMagic Ink. In my creation I used Mango Madness and the Four Corners Collection: Sahara Sand, Niagara Mist, Wheat and Sage.
4. Then I stamped one of the images of the Mon Ami set over the inked layer using VersaFine Onix and I covered the images  with Clear Embossing Powder.
5. I melted the powder with the heat tool.
6. With my fingers I colored the inside part of each image using Radian Neon 4 Warm. This is a pigment ink that you can mix to create a special texture.
7. I removed the excess ink from the embossed borders and I covered the colored part Clear Embossing Powder.
8. I melted the powder with the heat tool.
9. I cut the center image using the Mon Ami Fleur Fri Dies.
10. I also cut the same die using fun foam white to paste it behind of the real image and create more dimension.
11. Stamp the single petal and sentiment using VersaFine Onix and Clear Embossing Powder.
12. Paste the second layer over the card base and finalize your card.
