**I receive products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® and Spellbinders® Paper Arts for use in my projects. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience and doing so I can share what I personally love to use.**

Card Front

Fold a 12 x 6-inch cardstock in half to make a 6-inch card base. Then fold the front of the card in half at 3-inches to create the easel function.

Cut 6-inch square from the Gratitude 02 patterned paper and 5.5-inch square from the Gratitude 06 patterned paper.

Place a Creative Photo Corner in Gold on each corner.

Then place scraps of 3D Foam Creative Sheets on the back and adhere to top of the 6-inch square.

Using the E-Z Runner Grand Ultra Strong adhesive, adhere to the lower scored area of the card base.

Inside the Card

Cut 5.5-inch square from the Gratitude 06 patterned paper. Ink the edges, add a Creative Photo Corner in Gold on each corner, and secure with the E-Z Runner Grand Ultra Strong adhesive.

Take a floral die cut from the Ephemera Pack, add a few 3D Foam Circles to the back and secure toward the end of the bottom of the square.

Embellish the Front

Cut the small cut-aparts from the Gratitude 02 patterned paper and ink the edges. Layer in an off-set style and adhere with the E-Z Runner Grand Ultra Strong adhesives. Then adhere to the center of the card front. Then die cut the oval shape with mauve cardstock.

Die-cut several petals with the Sweet Cottage Flowers Dies Set with the green floral ORIGAMI paper. Stack the petals, and secure a pink brad in the center.

Mist with water and form the flower by scrunch each layer for a realistic look. Let dry and tap ink on the edges of the flower.

Secure the flower onto the oval die cut with a couple of Adhesive Dots Medium. Then add 3D Foam Circles on the back and adhere on the center of the card front (on top of the layered cut-aparts). Then add sequins with Adhesive Dots Micro and Sparkling Bubble Rhinestones in Light Yellow. And done!
