The bottom mat for this card was cut from Island Indigo CS.

The top mat was cut from Soft Sea Foam CS and then the center was cut out with one of the rectangular Stitched So Sweetly Dies.

Next I used Blending Brushes to color a scrap piece of Whisper White CS  using Marina Mist, Pretty Peacock, and Pear Pizzazz inks and attached it under the top mat with Tape Runner.  This piece was then attached to the bottom mat, and then to a White Card Base with Tape Runner.  

The sentiment is from the Positive Thoughts Stamp Set and was stamped as shown using Island Indigo Ink.

The leaves from the Positive Thoughts Stamp Set were stamped on scraps of Whisper White CS using Pear Pizzazz ink and cut out with the coordinating Nature's Thoughts Dies,  They were attached to the card front using Tape Runner.

The large flower and the butterfly were stamped on scraps of Whisper White CS using Island Indigo Ink and cut out with the coordinating Nature's Thoughts Dies.  They were popped up with Dimensionals.

The center piece for the flower was cut out of a piece of Island Indigo CS and glued to the center of the flower with Tombow Glue.

Lastly I attached a few Glitter Enamel Shapes.
These 3 cards feature the Positive Thoughts Stamp Set and the coordinating Nature's Thoughts Dies and the Heirloom Frame Embossing Folders and the coordinating Heirloom Frame Dies from Stampin' Up!

For the oval frame I used Soft Sky CS and then used a Sponge Dauber with Soft Sky Ink to add some highlights to the raised embossed section.

I used Pretty Peacock Ink for the leaves, butterfly and the sentiment which is from the Positive Thoughts Stamp Set.  I used Soft Sky ink for the flower and shading on the butterfly.

I colored some Clear Epoxy Droplets with one of the Pretty Peacock Stampin' Blends and added them to the flower and card front.
