Windmill Faux Side Step Card

I'm lovin' the new Flowering Fields DSP! There are so many colors to choose from. I saw a sample using this color combination and knew I had to try it. I hadn't done a Faux Side Step card in a while, so I gave it a try. Love it!

Flowering Fields DSP (N): 3/4" x 5 1/8", 2 5/8" x 5 1/8", 1/2" x 5 1/4, " (tulip side), 2 3/4" x 3 7/8 (Flip side, print)

To Make This Card:

Score Mango Melody piece along 8" side at 3" - 6" - 7". Accordion fold as shown. Crease well with bone folder.
Attach 7/8" x 5 1/4" Soft Succulent piece piece to "bottom". Skip an area, and attach larger piece to the next area. Add corresponding "tulip" pieces to layers. Set aside.
Now, take the other Mango Melody piece (step) and score along 6" side at 4 1/4". Crease well. Attach corresponding Soft Succulent and DSP to the front of this piece.
Turn this over and add Tear & Tape to the lower back edge of both the top and the bottom. (you are on the wrong side)
Cut out "windmill base", "blades", "bicycle", and 2 "fence pieces" from Early Espresso.
Attach adhesive sheet to back of Gray Granite piece. Cut out front, detail of "windmill". Remove backing and attach to Early Espresso "windmill base".
Center & attach this base onto 3" piece, with bottom of "windmill" at bottom of DSP. Add "windmill blades" with Mini Glue Dot. Add "fence" pieces on either side.
Attach "bicycle" to one side of small "step", leaving room for 3" piece.
To attach the 3" "step", remove the Tear & Tape covering on the "step" piece and place even with the lower edge. Remove the other covering, fold the card into position, and attach to the back of card.
To finish the card, place the White piece inside and attach the 1/2" strip to the bottom. Stamp sentiment in Evening Evergreen.
Finish with center "bolt" and "bicycle wheel bolts" from the Classic Matte Dots.
