I stamped the flowers and leaves (Autumn Rose & Simply Chartreuse) on my card base first, and then laid the velum bookmark over the flowers and stamped them again on the velum. I stamped the sentiment at the bottom of the velum bookmark, and then flipped it over and embossed the polka dots in white on the bookmark. I used the larger polka dots and versamark ink on the Marina Mist cs piece at the bottom of the card. I finished by adding a seam binding bow (dyed to match using re-inkers), "Tiny Tags" die cut, and some of the rainstones that I just love adding to cards! Here's a closer up view:
I'm bummed that you can't see it in the photo, but I also sprayed the whole card with silver Glimmer Mist, so IRL, the whole card sparkles! Here's the inspiration photo:

So soft and pretty!
Oh, this is beautiful!
This is stunning! I love how you double stamped the flowers on both the base of the card and the vellum overlay. I must try that!!
Marcia, this is detail magic! Love the polka dots, colors (softer blues), seeing through the vellum, card shape, sweet tag and sentiment! Did I miss anything? Can you tell I'm smitten? Can't wait to break open those bookmark sentiments!
This is an amazing design and a fantastic display of colors from the inspiration photo, Marcia! I love all the patterns and the vellum and that perfectly dyed seam binding bow! I can just imagine the whole thing shimmering! Hugs, Darnell
