Cut outer die again from white linen then glue to the top of the card base (this will make a completed looking top so that one side is not flat with the fold).   This last step is important to make the front look right.  Cut the inner lattice from white linen and foam sheet.  Cut inner arched non lattice die out of blue decorative paper.  Glue the foam and white linen lattice on top of the blue arch then glue to the card front.   Stamp the sentiment using Summer Sky Memento onto white then die cut with small tag of Alum Tags and Accents.  Stamp bouquet on white using black, die cut then color with Copics or favorite coloring method.  Glue the bouquet to the front of lattice then add a blue bow to the bottom.  Add a blue ribbon to the tag and glue the tag above the bouquet. Sponge adhesive all over card and flowers then sprinkle with glitter.

My next card uses the Gateway Dies as well

and includes the new Daffodil Sprays!
