Garden in Bloom Card

Hi Friends! If you're like me, you have a LONG wish list of Stampin' Up! products that you want to get. Well, the "Garden in Bloom" set has been on my list for eons and I can't believe I only got it a couple of weeks ago! I've loved every card I've seen, that uses this set and it's a two-step stamp set, which are always favourites of mine. Today's card tutorial is another fun share from the "Leaders Projects" group that I belong too and it's a great way to showcase the "Garden in Bloom". The new "Happy Birthday Gorgeous" set was also used on the card too!
