2. With the fold at the left, centre and glue the pink floral embossed paper to the front of the card.

5. Add the Washi tape below the lace border, slightly overlapping the lace border and cut off any protruding edges.
6. Add diamond bling stickers to the lace border.
7. Punch five flowers from the pink floral scrapbook paper and five from the pink handmade paper.
8. Glue the pink floral scrapbook flowers to the bottom of the card. Do not glue them down completely, so that you will be able to slightly bend the petals of the flowers upwards once the glue has dried.
9. Glue the flowers cut from the handmade paper on top of the pink floral scrapbook flowers, but again do not glue them down completely.
10. Add a diamond bling sticker to the centre of each flower.
