Stamp the large blossom image on the upper left corner of the stamp sheet onto the stamped black outline of the blossom with shabby pink ink.

Use a cosmetic sponge to apply Merlot ink, then brown ink, on the smaller smudgy stamp (second from bottom, right edge on the stamp sheet), then stamp it onto the center of the blossom. Lightly stamp again randomly over the outer petals (without re-inking) to add a bit more color to the flower. Use a smudgy leaf stamp to add merlot/brown ink on the bud. Add silver ink on the leaves with the smudgy leaf stamps.
