Congratulating Rustic Sunflowers

Instructions:
The card base is white cardstock that is 6 x12" and folded in half. Cut the 6 x 6" card front from the Rustic Sunflower patterned paper. Using the large and small circle dies, cut the scalloped circle from white cardstock, then the next smaller plain circle from blue patterned paper. Adhere these layers together and adhere to the card base. Using the Rounded Window Frames Die, cut the smaller decorative piece from white cardstock, and a plain circle from light green patterned paper. Adhere these 2 layers together and adhere to the card from using foam tape.
Find and cut out the small journal strip and add the sentiment to the block using black ink. Adhere to the bottom of the card using foam squares. Add gems to either end to add a little extra sparkle.
Stamp and die cut 2 sets of the smaller rustic sunflower using brown ink (Staz On- Timber Brown) onto Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper. Stamp and die cut 1 set of the larger sunflower using brown ink onto Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper. Add color to the flowers using 2 tones of yellow ink (Stampin Up- Delightful Dijon, Crushed Curry) using daubers and the darker yellow at the tips of the petals. Shape the flowers using the coordinating 3D shaping mold. Assemble the flowers, and add Prills to the middle of the flowers using liquid adhesive. Let dry. Add the large flower to the middle of the card and the smaller flowers to either side.
Stamp and die cut 2 of each: the wheat, larger fern like leaves, smaller leaves from the Autumn Wreath and Summer Wreath Stamp sets using brown ink onto white cardstock. Add color to the leaves using green ink (Stampin Up- Old Olive) and daubers. Add a dusting of the same brown ink to the wheat. Add the leaves and wheat around the flowers.
