Pick out the open oval frame die from the Fabulous Frames Dies. Put it on top of one of the vertical green sprigs Heart & Home Designer Paper rectangles on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces if needed. Repeat with the other two designer paper rectangles until you have 3 designer paper ovals.
Adhere the designer paper oval cut outs to the center of the front of the card so they overlap each other a little bit as shown.

Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
One at a time, carefully remove the protective backings from the little flower cut outs and adhere them over the flowers on the green stem cut out.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up three Highland Heather pearls from the sheet of Pastel Pearls making sure you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the centers of the Fresh Freesia flowers on the stem cut out.
