Large birthday card featuring flowers, vellum and embossed greeting

Our daughter in law is celebrating her birthday this week!!  She is a gardener and flower lover so I made her this card.  

I started with a dark red card and added a lovely intricate background paper that coordinates perfectly!!  I trimmed a piece of vellum and tore it vertically then the both pieces horizontally which leaves the outside edges neat but the insides more natural.  I adhered the four pieces of vellum to my card using double sided tape.  I printed the flowers (CLKER), fussy cut them and then added black marker to the edges to make them neat.  I watercoloured them to coordinate with the background paper.  Once they were dry I added them to mu card using double sided tape.  I embossed a strip of white cardstock, trimmed out a piece long enough for my card and added two strips of dark red cardstock to the top and bottom.  I added a layered silk flower with a white brad before adhering this element to the bottom portion of my card!!  Very happy with how it worked out!!!!  Therese
