Natural Composition DSP with Secret Garden

Have you tried the Natural Composition paper yet?  It took me a while to see what it was all about and now that I see how beautiful it is, I plan to be using it more.

Here's a beautiful card (with a few of my own changes) that I saw on Beth's Paper Cuts.  Since I don't have all the awesome 3/8" Ruffle Stretch Trim yet, I had to change the color to Strawberry Slush and I used Secret Garden Stamps and Framelits. I wish you could see the Dazzling Diamonds a bit better, it just didn't photograph very well.

Here's the details:

• Begin with Soft Suede (I think Baked Brown Sugar would look great too) - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4"
• Cut a piece of Natural Composition DSP (126917)  5" x 3".  This DSP has several patterns to it, so be sure to pick the one with the flowers.
• Punch a circle with the 2 1/2" Circle Punch (120906)
• Using Sticky Strip (104294) attach a piece to the long side of the DSP and then attach a 5" piece of 3/8" Ruffle Stretch Trim in Strawberry Slush (130023)
• Cut a 2 7/8" square of Whisper White (to go behind the circle you punched) and pop it up (or back) with Stampin' Dimensionals (104430) from the DSP
• Stamp your flower of choice from Secret Garden (w-131940 / c-129144) with Strawberry Slush Ink onto Strawberry Slush card stock.
• Die cut the flowers using Secret Garden Framelits (129372)
• Punch leaves from the Bird Builder Punch (117191) from Pear Pizzazz card stock
• Use Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up the DSP from the base card.
• Stamp sentiment using Itty Bitty Banners (w-132022 / c-126257) and Die Cut with Bitty Banners Framelits (129267)
• Use Dazzling Diamonds to decorate the flowers - be sure to let it dry completely!
