The Stampin' Up! Back to Back Blooms Stamp Set is ideal for creating bold and detailed floral images. This is a Reversible Two-Step Stampin' set -- it allows you to add depth, texture, and dimension to your stamped images. For this card, however, I went with a scaled-back simpler look by stamping the outline stamp in a somewhat tone-on-tone color scheme directly to DSP in like colors.

Instructions
Prepare Your Cardstock: cut/trim/score all paper as described above

Fussy cut the large flower and four leaves
Adhere Layer #1 Old Olive cardstock to the card base
Adhere the large Petal Pink flower in the center of the previous layers
Tuck the leaves in behid the large flower and adhere in place (I adhered a leaf down on the left and right side of the flower with liquid glue and the remaining leaves, again on each side of the large flower, with Stampin' Dimensionals (mini or cut pieces of the standard size dimensionals)
Stamp the sentiment on white cardstock in Old Olive ink; trim the sentiment to size, and adhere to the top of the card front
