This is a large card 6 X 12 inches. The card base is Wausau cardstock. All of the remaining paper and cardstock are from my stash. Rubons from my stash were used for the sentiments.
 
Using the Gypsy and the Tinker Bell & Friends cartridge, I cut the Iridessa  character (page 60) and mushroom (page 69)  and all their components at 5.98 inches width by 5.47 inches height with the Cricut Expression. All the parts were adhered with Zig 2 Way and Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive.
