I get a little overwhelmed with some of these larger kits, so this challenge seemed like a great place to start and use just a few of the elements from the Make It Market: Garden Gate set. Of course I had to start with one of the new stencils in the kit, and lightly sponged on some Amethyst Allure through the stencil. I used New Leaf, Amethyst Allure, & Royal Velvet for my flowers and die cut them and pop dotted them over my sentiment strip. My sentiment is from the Enclosed: Leaf Stamp Set and is stamped with Royal Velvet ink. A few sequins finished up this quick and simple card, and now I think I'm ready to take on more of the Garden Gate kit!! :0)
