Wildflower Birthday Tall Square Card

My Senior Center gals are always wanting Birthday Cards! I found this one, that I thought they would enjoy, as they could create their own "focal point" using what pieces I had. It worked out really well! They loved it! And, they were all uniquely different! This version also comes from my downline, Robin Armbrecht.

Measurements:

Pretty in Pink: 4 1/4" x 8 1/2", 4 1/4" square (circle)
Wildflower Birthday DSP (OE): 4" square (peach print), various die cuts
Basic White: 3 1/2" square (outside circle), 4" square (inside)

To Make This Card:

Fold Pretty in Pink card base in half, creating a square card. Adhere "Peach Print" DSP to the front, and White square to the inside.
Die cut largest "radiating" circle from Pretty in Pink, and the "slashed" circle from the White, from the Spotlight on Nature.
Emboss sentiment from Birthday Celebration in Gold, onto White Circle.
Next, let's create a "focal point". I started with a small "cupcake" die cut. Attach to circle with Dimensionals, as shown.
Next, select a "leaf" and add to card. I creased it a bit in the center, and then tucked it under the "cupcake". At this time, I also added a small "flower" die cut.
Lastly, I selected a flower(s) to finish off the "focal point". I chose from several that would best color coordinate with the rest of my "focal point".
Adhere to Pink circle.
To finish the inside, select a "floral" die cut and add to White layer.
Now, to attach the circle to the card front, so it will fit into a standard, A2 envelope.
To do this, take a quarter piece of cardstock to use as a template. Line up the Pretty in Pink "square" base to the bottom of the "template". Next, flip over the circle, so the top of the circle matches the top of the "template". Adhere Dimensionals to the "bottom" of the circle, where it will attach to the card base. Flip the circle over and adhere to the front of card.
To finish the card, tie a knot of Gold Open Weave trim, and adhere under "cupcake", and scatter Drusy Gems.
