I started with the middle card in the trio and began embellishing. I used a Unity Stamp from the "Flowers Galore" set to stamp two scalloped circles at opposite corners of the card, using Fired Brick Distress Oxide. I partially die cut a floral border from a scrap of orange card and clipped two of the floral units to place inside the stamped circles. I attached a strip of red mesh across the lower middle of the blank and attached a metal plaque which I had colored using Distress Crayons. As with the first ATC, I mounted the completed blank on a red ATC base:
- Stamps: Simon Says Stamp “Ornate Background (SSS101763); Unity “Flowers Galore”
- Stencils: Stampers Anonymous Mini Layering Set #42 (THMS 126, THMS 127 and THMS 128)

For the next ATC, I used the remaining prepared blank and stamped two different circles from the "Flowers Galore" set in opposite corners. I added three strips of "Rainbow Tape" in yellow to the right side of the blank. Next, I fussy cut a flower from the die cut orange border used for the second ATC and placed it in the center of the card. I stamped a sentiment over the orange flower using Archival "Vintage Photo" ink, filling in any gaps with the matching Distress Marker. I added a red rhinestone to the center of the flower and mounted the blank on a red ATC:
