Step 1:   
Fussy cut the image from the right-hand-side of the Rest & Relaxation paper, then fussy cut into 3 pieces – large floral cluster, birdhouse, and small floral around the birdhouse. Ink the edges with brown ink. – See image 1

Step 2:   
Trim a piece of the Rest & Relaxation paper (B-side) to 3 3/8” x 8 1/8”. Trim a piece of the Moments Of Stillness paper (B-Side) to 3 ¼” x 8”. Ink the edges with brown ink and adhere to a slimline card base. – See image 2

Step 3:
Trim the branding strip (B-side) from the Steeped In Blooms paper to 8”, ink the edges then adhere to the left-hand-side of the card. – See image 3

Step 4:
Die cut a folding ticket from Cloud cardstock then trim in half to have just one side of the ticket. – See image 4

Step 5:
Fussy cut 5 tickets and tags from the Garden Sanctuary paper and the ‘Choose Happy’ circle from the Afternoon Breeze paper. Ink the edges.  – See image 5

Step 6:
Adhere the die-cut ticket to the card base, slightly below centre. – See image 6

Step 7:
Next adhere the fussy cut floral pieces as shown (don’t add adhesive right to the edges). Tuck the tags in underneath, then glue down the florals if needed.  – See images 7 and 8

Step 8:
Choose a small frame from the Bloom & Brew Ephemera pack (I have used the white side) and adhere to the back of the birdhouse. Adhere the birdhouse and the ‘Choose Happy’ piece with foam mounts. – See image 9

Step 9:
Add a ‘Thinking Of You’ banner and a tag from the cut-a-part sheet and 3 small white flowers – see main image
