Instructions:

Use the black pen to draw small squiggles all over the piece of white printer paper.

With the fold at the top, center and glue the piece of paper with the squiggles on to the front of the card.
-
Use the lace tape to add a frame around the paper with the squiggles, and cut off any protruding edges.
-
Cut 5 similar flower petals from the yellow cardstock. Glue the petals to the front of the card, but do not glue the petals down completely. Only add glue to the smaller sections of the petals so that you can curl back the bigger parts of the petals to create a 3D-effect.
