I made this 5X7 card for a sister in our cell group who is going to be baptized in the coming September. The flower stamps are from The Ton Stamps' Happy Place stamp set. I colored them with Altenew alcohol markers. I die cut the book nested dies and brushed around them with Distress Oxide ink - Antique Linen. I also gold embossed the borders of each book die. I printed the bible verse with printer and stamped sister and her name (blur area) with Concord & 9th's Perfectly Penned stamp set. The "congratulations" (from Avery Elle's Oh Happy Day stamp set) at the bottom of the book die was gold embossed. I hand written the date on the pink ribbon die. Finish the card by attaching some different pink shades of pearls on the background. Below is another look of the card:

I applied foam tapes on the greeting cut out and attached it on the background. Finish the card by attaching some gems on the card. Below is another look of the card:
