Step by step
5 Mark the halfway point on the bottom of the card front and cut diagonally to each corner. Cut a 13.5cm square of Mustard cardstock and 13cm square of patterned paper and repeat the process. Matt the layers together including the triangle off-cuts. 6 Attach the off-cut triangles on the card front so they cross each other using 3D foam pads. 7 Add the three quilled daisies down the front, stamp the sentiment onto white cardstock, trim to size and layer onto Mustard cardstock before affixing on the top of the card front using 3D foam pads. 8 Add gems to finish.

Do not release from the tool until glued in place. Allow to dry. 4 Make up the flower shapes gluing each petal in place and adding the centre on the top, then allow to dry.
