This card was inspired by a design I found on Pinterest.  So easy to adapt to any occasion by simply changing the patterned paper.

Assembly

    * Cut 2-3/4" Deckled Circle from Soft Suede card stock

    * Punch 1-7/8" Circle from Sage Shadow card stock
    * Punch 1-3/4" Circle from white card stock and stamp sentiment of your choosing
    * Punch leaves from Sage Shadow card stock
    * Punch several small flowers from Sahara and White card stock
* Starting at the bottom, layer circles and leaf and flower pieces on card front as follows (NOTE: I didn't pop up my pieces since there were so many layers, but you could certainly assemble the entire piece and adhere with foam tape or hexagons if that's your preference):
    * Soft Suede 2-3/4" Deckled Circle (bottom)
    * Sage Shadow Leaves
    * Sahara Sand 2-1/4" Deckled Circle
    * Sage Shadow 1-7/8" Circle
    * White 1-3/4" Circle
    * Small Flowers
Inside
* Adhere 5-1/4" x 4" patterned paper to inside of card
* Adhere 5" x 3-3/4" white card stock over patterned paper
* OPTIONAL: Add a few more flowers and/or leaves on inside of card

That's it.  This was intended to have a more masculine feel to it, but I think the flowers kind of changed that by the time I was finished.  Adding tiny dots of some kind of sparkle to the centers of the small flowers would certainly enhance this card, but as I said, I was trying to keep it a little more "manly."

Hope you enjoy this card.
