6. Using a white gel pen draw in the stitching all the way around the pocket.  Adhere pocket to the Basic White sentiment piece keeping the top edge of the pocket flush to the Basic White piece.

7.  On the 1 3/4 x 5 Basic White piece.  Stamp the two large flowers and the set of three flowers in Night of Navy ink.  Then fussy cut them out with your paper snips.
