Step Card Fun

I was playing with different types of Cards and decided I'd been wanting to make this one for a loooooooong time... yeah... since last summer's vacation to Hawaii. 

This is a Step card and can be made and modified in many different ways to accommodate many ideas and embellishments.

I've been wanting to use Stampin'Up's new and wonderful Photopolymer statmp set called: Flower Patch... it has 10 flowers, 2stems, 3 different leaves, a leave spine or branch and 3 sentiments to go with it... it's a 2-step stamp set for a total of 19 stamps!!!  All that for only $25.95, aaaaand... of course... it has a matching die set to cut out all those wonderful shapes!!  The Flower Fair Framelits  - 11 dies for $25.95.  I was so excited to use this finally!  If you buy both items... there is a bundle discount of 15% for $43.25.. you know that's what I did right? 

Well, here it is from different views and of course... I had to add my pic o the family!  Hope you enjoy it.  I will post more samples in the next few days.
