Take a 6x6 piece of square card and stamp the large stamp using 3 different colours, Teal Zeal, Bamboo Leaves and Morocco, heat emboss with clear embossing powder. Then, using the Clockface Mask, run it through an embossing machine. Ink the edges and raised areas using cut n dry foam and Teal Zeal ink to bring out the embossed detail. Attach to your card blank tucking a length of striped ribbon under the edge at the fold side of the card.
To make the flower topper, use the dragonfly stamp, and Pearlescent Thyme and Sky Blue Brilliance. Stamp 3 of each colour onto vellum. Cut out just the centre and the wings, pile them all together and secure in the centre with a brad. Fan the petals out to make a flower, also curl some of them inwards. Attach to the card over the ribbon and add some small self adhesive jewels for detail.
