Female Birthday Card

Hello, here's a card I made for a friend's birthday.
She makes beautiful patchwork quilts, so when I came across this
idea on Pinterest I thought it was perfect for her.
I used four pieces of co-ordinating paper, ran them through the embossing
folder first,then punched out the scalloped squares.
I then stuck them evenly onto some purple card, which I then matt
and layered onto silver mirri card.
I die cut the flower from paper and card, and added the pearl.



The items I have used are:-
Cuttlebug set of four flower dies
Woodware scalloped square and scalloped oval punches
