So, on this card, I used the Well Scripted set for the sentiment, the Scallop Trim border punch, and the Bird on a Branch punch for the leaves. But I'm most proud of the flower, which I made with the Large Dahlia Petals Punch Bunch punch from Core'dinations cardstock. I have the two flower art books, and I thought the Dahlia punch would be used to make a dahlia flower, but the instructions say something else. So this design is sort of made up based on the basic mechanics of making flowers with their punches.
I'm mailing it in a CD mailer so it doesn't get smooshed. Doing that also allowed me to make it square. I don't make square cards often because I'm usually already paying a bit more for postage due to the bulk/weight, but the CD mailer will cost more anyway. I hope she appreciates the card!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Melinda...thanks so much! I can't figure out how to contact you, lol. I'm in the Largo area. So maybe an hour away? And to answer your other question, I don't have a tutorial, just a book to suggest: Paper Bouquet by Susan Tierney Cockburn.
I just love this, Heather! I don't have the patience to make these flowers, so I'm impressed that you do! LOL
I saw this card yesterday while blog-hopping, and then tonight, this is the card I remembered and have been searching for. I finally found it again! :) I love the way your flower turned out. Your work is amazing. I'm now off to look up some of the resources you cited to see how I can re-create something close to it. Thanks for your amazing work & inspiration!

Thanks so much for the nice comment. It's a Punch Bunch punch. You can get it from FranticStamper.com or ScrappilyEverAfter.com or StampingFools.com. It's the Large Dahlia Petals punch. Hope that helps!
