Here is mine below:

When thinking of summer sunshine, I think DSP Summer Smooches since it has all the bright summer colors, so I started with that and ended up with this card.

Grabbed my stamp set: Build a Blossom to create this full big flower and leaves along with the matching punch: Blossom Petals Builder. Here is a side view to see how the Stampin Dimensionals were used in between the layers to pop up the look.

Here is a close up picture of the front view showing off the colors of Real Red, Old Olive for the leaves, Daffodil Delight for the center and you can see one of the new ribbons: 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain in Daffodil Delight. Island Indigo cardstock was used under it.

Added a scallop border using the Adorning Accents Edgelits along with matching embossing Accents Folder and for the sentiment, used the Modern Label and Word Window Punch with the stamp set: Teeeny Tiny Wishes.

For the 2 little flowers on the right hand side on the bottom, the Boho punch was very handy along with punching 2 circles from the Owl punch for the center. 

After looking at it over, I'm now thinking it could use some basic pearls, but at the same time not sure if it would be over doing it. Let me know what you think. Hope you enjoy and have fun creating!!
