A Summer Garden (in paper)

I'm still playing with Simon's new Partial Cut Flowers dies, and was inspired by the colors of summer.

I decided to use this rounded flower that comes in 2 sizes and make a color-block card.

I chose summery colors from my stash of 12" BoBunny double dots papers, cut them into a postage stamp square, then partially cut out the larger of the flowers from each center.  Separately I cut out the smaller version of the same flower, and trimmed it from its background, then glued it to the center of each flower and added a Doodlebug Sprinkle to match.  My sentiment is from Verve's Bloom & Grow set.

And for this one, I chose the largest of the dies and cut out 3 of them in a row on a white panel, adding bright gold Sprinkles to each center, then attached the panel to a yellow card base that I had embossed with a Sizzix Floral Flourishes embossing folder.  My sentiment is from a Technique Tuesday Ali Edwards set called Bring on the Sun.

Hope these help to brighten your day.  I'll see you tomorrow with my Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge blog post.  Thanks for stopping by!
