So how did I use Mary's sketch? Well, check this out!


A friend let me borrow her Secret Garden set and coordinating framelits dies. So I have been having some fun using this set as much as possible before I return it to her! Now this is not one of my sets for the special edition (so I really hope you subscribe so you can see those). I kept my card really simple just like the sketch! I adhered a strip of Wisteria Wonder designer paper with the end flagged to a card base of Whisper White. Then I adhered a strip of Elegant Eggplant with the end flagged to the card. Right above these I stamped the sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes in Elegant Eggplant. Then I used an oval framelit die to cut an oval from Whisper White. I stamped two flowers from the Secret Garden set in Wisteria Wonder and then popped the oval up onto the card. Then I cut two leaves from Lucky Limeade designer paper using the Secret Garden framelits dies. I adhered these to the oval. I stamped the solid flower in Pink Pirouette onto a scrap of Whisper White and cut it out. This is popped up onto the card. Then I threaded some white baker's twine through a Regals designer button and adhered it to the flower center. Finally I added some rhinestones to the oval.
