Wow I made a card!

For some reason my card making has dropped off but my craft shopping has seemed to increase!! What is with that??

This card was very easy to make :) and didn't take long once I decided what to do! I find the Boho Blossoms punch makes my favorite layered flowers and it does it so easily!
Ingredients:
Gumball Green cardstock
Very Vanilla cardstock
Raspberry Ripple cardstock
Raspberry Ripple Ink Pad
Stamp Petite Pairs
Print Poetry Compact Paper Stack (retired) Substitutes - stamp a design using Raspberry Ripple ink on very vanilla, or use the 2012-2014 In Colour Designer Series Paper Stacks
Boho Blossoms Punch
Bird Builder Punch
Designer Frames embossing folder
Big Shot
SU paper trimmer and scorer
paper snips
Adhesives -snail, mini glue dots, dimensionals

Instructions
Cut A4 cardstock in half, fold piece in centre using scorer
Cut designer paper to fit just within edges on top of card
Punch out 8 sets of flowers using boho blossom punch and 5 leaf stems with bird builder.
Layer 3 sets of flowers starting with 2 large flowers, 1 medium and 1 small, and 3 with 2 medium flowers and 1 small. Then and use glue dots to stick them together. Scrunch flowers inward and pull back out to get the look I've gone for.
Put very vanilla and raspberry ripple card stock through the big shot (separately!) with frame embossing folder. Tear around vanilla frame leaving about a half a centimetre border and then cut around raspberry border.
Cut a very vanilla rectangle to fit inside frame, and stamp sentiment.
Now it's time to put it all together!
Using your snail adhesive, tape specialty paper on top of card and then tape vanilla frame in centre.
Use dimensionals to layer the raspberry frame and vanilla sentiment.
Glue leaves and flowers in desired position and you’re done! I added red pearls to my flower centres, which I got from my local store.
Hope your card turns out how you like it!
Thanks for looking
Sam :)
