2. green = yellow-green of the Lemon Lime Twist stamp pad and then the grass green of Emerald Envy stamp pad = SU

3. free = grayish-purple stamp pad for butterflies and the postage stamp kind of journal stamp; lilac pink, yellow, orange, bright bold pink/magenta ink dots from markers; black ink from Hero Arts stamp pad

4. stamped images or text = both ==> plants, butterflies and journal text stamps are from Crafter's Square; girl image stamp is from Creative Devotion; 'you're kind of the best ever' stamp (might be SU; in unmarked plastic bag)

5. ink smears and/or blending = for smearing: lemon lime twist was applied first and then pink pirouette went on top before stamping or adding ink dots= SU stamp pads
