From the same set, stamp inside each of them with Flower 1 image in Odacious Orange ink. Glue together. Cut two Flower 3 die from Pixie Play cardstock and use them as leaves by adhering on the bottom of two of the largest flower die cuts. Glue buttons in the centers and glue on clipboard.
Splatter Cool Carribean and Luscious Lime Silk Luster on the top of the clipboard. Let dry.

Add a cute memo pad or custom pen to the ensemble and it’s ready to give.
