I wanted to do something different so I picked a tri-fold card to see if I could line up the images so all the images would be seen from the front. I always keep flowers pre cut and or punched in baggies for just such an occasion or for quick cards when needed.
The basic shapes of the young girl making a wish on a star are mirrored on the third panels, front and back. Wanted the young girl wishing to show through the trellis. Added the granter of her wish, a fairy in the middle inside panel.
Stamped flower swirls from Inkadinkado in the inside of the card and added coloring with gel pens. Layered the flowers to have depth in a couple of shades of purples and yellows. Added pearl adhesives to all the flowers and the center of the top trellis. Used a forest green CS by Bazzill for the leaves and swirls.
Besides the mirror images of the girl I also used the inside images of the larger flowers for the inside left panel.
Used another piece of Recollections, "Marble Swirl" to the background of the fairy.
I had way to much fun on this card!!
Again love the challenge and summer's blossoms, please check out the other views of the front and the back of the card. Thank you!

How cute to have the die-cuts peeking through the trellis!

Susan,
Not such a big project. I always keep a bag of flowers cut in various colors for quick projects! I take sandwich bags and use a metal ring to hold them together. That is, I punch a hole in the corner of the bags and ring them in groups by color. I just hang them on my filing cabinet handles! Right there when I need them!
