Quick and Easy card

Here's a quick and easy card using Stampin' Up!'s "Secret Garden" set from the Spring Catalog:

 

I've used this layout a lot and I just love it!  There's a lot going on with the stamped images so I purposely kept the background of the card simple.  I stamped the flower images from "Secret Garden" in a lot of different blues (Bashful Blue, Island Indigo, Pacific Point and Midnight Muse) and the stem in Certainly Celery.  Midnight Muse Satin Stitched Ribbon offers a nice border along the top of the stamped piece and paper-piercing adds a little texture just below.  You could also stamp the greeting directly on the Certainly Celery cardstock but I couldn't resist popping it up with Dimensionals :-)
