Good morning! I love this new Secret Garden stamp set and coordinating framelits from the Spring Catalog! I made this card using the color challenge from the Splitcoast Stampers Creative Crew challenge. The colors we were to use were: Raspberry Ripple, Primrose Petals, Pretty in Pink, Very Vanilla, & Sahara Sand. Come join us and play along with the Creative Crew Challenges!
I stamped the flowers and cut them out using the coordinating framelits. Some of the flower centers were made my stamping the flowers again and punching out the centers using a punch from the itty bitty shapes punch pack and then I placed the centers on top of the flowers.
My honeycomb oval background was made by first cutting out an oval shape and I used the oval collection framelits for that and then I dry embossed the oval using the honeycomb embossing folder. Remember, cut first and emboss second!
Then I placed my background onto my card and I began arranging my flowers. Some of the flowers were placed onto my card using glue dots and some have dimensionals underneath them. I even have some dimensionals stacked to raise up some of the flowers even more.
Once my flowers were arranged on my card I added my sentiment. My sentiment is from the current SAB set, Bloomin' Marvelous. It's stamped and layered using oval punches and I have dimensionals under my oval sentiment. Then I decided it would be neat to place a small pearl at each of the hexagon corners as well as inside the center of the hexagons. This is a great way to use up those really tiny pearls. I did this step last so that I wouldn't end up wasting pearls and placing them where you wouldn't see them.
I want to give a special thank you to all of my new followers, you are the reason I keep blogging! I love sharing my cards with you! Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Very pretty card...
Your card is beautiful! You mixed the pinks in just the right way. I've had qualms about this stamp set because the flowers look so flat and lifeless. But I really like how they turned out in your card.
Oh Patty - this card is stunning! I think the way you used the honeycomb embossing folder is way too cool and those flowers are gorgeous!
This card turned out great. I love those colors together. The layered, cut flowers are placed perfectly. The small pearls are a perfect addition.
Lovely bouquet of flowers, I love the embossing folder you used on this! Hugs, Karen
