I cut a Spellbinders aperture and placed the cut mat onto the inside for the sentiment. Stamped and cut out ( matching die is available is you don't do hand cutting!) and assembled flowers. Scored a frame with the Hougie Board before adding the flowers. Added a leaf and flower to the inside to finish. Will need a box envelope to protect the flowers - out comes the Hougie Board for that and I'll pop a flower onto that too.The card base is 7" square for this card from J and C Creations.

Coloured in with Distress Pens. I wanted to keep the colouring subtle so chose similar pens to the inks I used on the background
