SECRET GARDEN STAMP SET – STAMPIN’ UP!
I certainly hope that Stampin’ Up!’s Secret Garden Stamp Set is carried over in the upcoming 2013-2014 Annual Catalog. I have found myself gravitating to this stamp set quite often when making cards.
Today’s card features two stamp images from the Secret Garden Stamp Set. I stamped the floral and leaves images from the stamp set onto a piece of Stampin’ Up!’s Watercolor Paper.
I stamped on Daffodil Delight and Rich Razzleberry Card Stock and cut out the three butterflies on the card front. The butterflies are from the Kindness Matters Stamp Set.
The beautiful flower that is featured on the card front was stamped on the watercolor paper using Jet Black StazOn Ink. I then water colored it with the Stampin’ Up! Rich Razzelberry Classic Ink. After water coloring the flower, I masked it and stamped the stem and leaves from the Secret Garden Stamp Set. 
The sentiment, Happy Birthday (from the Apothecary Stamp Set), was stamped onto the watercolor paper with VersaMark Ink and then embossed with Gumball Green Embossing Powder. I hope you enjoy it.
