Hope you are having a good weekend! Today’s card features the Stampin’ Up! Trust God Stamp Set, as well as the Secret Garden Stamp Set. I think the card is very pretty and soothing.
The Trust God Stamp Set is one of my favorites, and I am thankful it is not on Stampin’ Up!’s retiring products list. My opinion is that the stamp set is great for cards of encouragement and to let friends and loved ones know you are thinking of them.
To make the card, I used VersaMark to randomly stamp the large flower from the Secret Garden Stamp Set onto a piece of Whisper White Card Stock. The flowers were covered with Pewter Stampin’ Embossing Powder and heat set.
Then I randomly sponged three classic inks around the card stock. I used the returning Soft Sky and Crushed Curry, and the current Melon Mambo classic inks. I really like the look of blending inks.
Using VersaMark, I stamped the sentiment from the Trust God Stamp Set onto a small piece of Whisper White Card Stock, covered it with the Pewter Stampin’ Embossing Powder and heat set it. I used the Stampin’ Up! Oval Framelits to cut out the sentiment and a Soft Sky Mat for it. I added six Basic Rhinestones to give the card a little bling. Before attaching the sentiment and mat to the card, I attached a piece of Soft Sky Ribbon to the center of the card. (So glad I still have some of the Stampin’ Up products in the returning colors!)

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 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. 
place to place within the Secret Garden. I enjoy beautiful butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and other forms of nature as the aroma of many floral scents rush past my nostrils. I sit on a bench, laying my head back and watching the sunshine peeking down through the tree branches as I drift off into a dream of floating from flower to flower.
Then I hear, “Bevvverrrly”! I quickly awake and realize I’m in my crafting room creating a beautiful card with the Stampin Up Secret Garden Stamp Set. Gee, I like my daydream! (LOL) Here is the card I developed during this daydream.
The following picture is a closeup of the new Stampin Up Designer Builder Brads that I used. I punched out two butterflies with the Spring Catalog’s Bitty Butterfly Punch and adhered them to the center of the brads and placed epoxy bubbles on top (the epoxy bubbles come with the brads).
