The die cut stars were then laid out onto the small panel of Basic White card to work out the positioning. Once I had them arranged, I lifted them one at a time and glued them in place using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The overhanging pieces of stars were trimmed off with scissors and the layer was glued to the Real Red panel which was added to the Azure Afternoon card base on Dimensionals.

I tucked strips of Basic White, Daffodil Delight and Real Red card under the lower right-hand corner.

The sentiment, from the Charming Sentiments stamp set, was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip of Basic Black ink, covered it with White Embossing Powder and used my Heat Tool to set it. I flagged the ends before adding it to the card front on Mini Glue Dots as I did not want to add anymore height to the card.

A trio of Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins completed the card.

Supplies used:

Here is a cheerful, summery card featuring some gorgeous bright leaves and made using the Love of Leaves stamp set and Stitched Leaves Dies.

To recreate the bright leaves card you will need:

Bermuda Bay card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored and folded at 4⅛” – Rounded upper left corner
Daffodil Delight – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded upper left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper left corner x 2
Scrap Whisper White and Granny Apple Green

I stamped the largest leaf from the Love of Leaves stamp set onto one of the Whisper White panels using Granny Apple Green ink. This is a ‘distinctive’ stamp set meaning you get layers of texture, light and dark with each inking.
