Secret Garden Bright and Fresh

Here's another pretty card using Secret Garden stamps and framelits with the Gingham Garden DSP.  I love the bright colors that go with this card.  The sentiments come from the Remembering Your Birthday stamp set.

Here's how it all comes together:

• Begin with a base of Daffodil Delight - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4".
• The second layer begins with Whisper White - 5 1/4" x 4".
• Cut the larger piece of Gingham Garden DSP (129310) - 4" x 1 3/4" and the smaller piece - 4" x 3/4"
• Attach both to the Whisper White and run through the Big Shot (113439) using Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder (117335).
• Attach to the Daffodil Delight card base.
• Stamp the solid flowers from Secret Garden Stamps (w-131940 / c-129144) using Island Indigo, Daffodil Delight and Melon Mambo.
• Die cut the flowers using the Big Shot and Secret Garden framelits (129372).
• Pop up flowers with Stampin' Dimensionals (104430)
• Punch leaves with the Bird Builder Punch (117191) or use the leaves stamp from Secret Garden and the matching framelits.
• Stamp sentiment on Whisper White
• Punch sentiment with the Decorative Label Punch (120907). Punch an additional Decorative Label in Melon Mambo. 
• Cut the Melon Mambo in half and place it behind the sentiment, trimming off any excess that peeks out.
• Add Large Pearl Basic Jewels (125577) to the center of the flowers.
• Cut an additional Whisper White for stamping the inside sentiment - 5 1/4" x 4".

Well, that looks like a LOT of work, but really, it's very simple.

Thank you for looking in today.  Welcome to Friday and the weekend ahead!
