I have been playing with the very lovely Secret Garden stamp set and matching framelits from the Seasonal Catalogue (page 17)...

Stamps: Secret Garden (wood: 129141, clear: 129144), Blooming with Kindness (wood: 126420, clear: 126422). Ink: Daffodil Delight (126944), Marina Mist (126962), Old Olive (126953), Early Espresso (126974). Card/Paper: Whisper White (106549), Sunshine & Sprinkles DSP (126922). Tools: Big Shot (113439), Secret Garden Framelits Dies (129372), Stampin' Dimensionals (104430).

Inspired by the Sunshine & Spinkles DSP (also from the Seasonal Catalogue, page 28), I used Daffodil Delight, Marina Mist and Old Olive to stamp the solid images from the Secret Garden stamp set. I didn't want these stamped images to be prominent, so I stamped them off on a scrap piece of paper before stamping on the card base, giving a softer background.

The large outline flower was stamped three times - once on Whisper White card stock and die-cut using the Secret Garden Framelits, once on chevron patterned Daffodil Delight paper from Sunshine & Sprinkles DSP pack, and once on a spotted patterned Old Olive paper from Sunshine & Sprinkles DSP pack. Both images stamped on patterned paper were fussy-cut and adhered to the die-cut image stamped on Whisper White. The paper-pieced flower was then adhered to the card using a Stampin' Dimensional.

I made these cards to give to everyone who placed an order with me during April to say, "thanks!" Did you receive yours?

The Secret Garden stamp set just screams, "cut me out", so I love that you can get a matching set of framelits, which sure takes the effort out of cutting. Did you know you can get the Secret Garden stamp set and framelits as a bundle, at a 15% svaings?
