Use white cardstock approximately 8.25 '' x 5.75 '' to prepare the base and fold it in half. If you have one, use a creasing board.

Prepare a strip of white, preferably smooth, 120g paper approximately 2.25" x 5.25" and a strip of patterned paper from Delightful Daffodil Paper Collection 2B sheet approximately 1.25" x 5.25" . Place a strip of white paper on the left side of the base and the patterned paper on the right side. In the place where the two papers are joined, glue a thin strip of luxe gold cardstock. (In my case, the scrap remained after the preparation of other works).

Stamp a flower branch image from the Floral Butterfly Accents Cling Stamp Set HCPC-3952 on a white cardstock, using the Pebble Beach color and double the leaf images from the Large Floral Urn HCPC-3931. Use the Pistachio color. Cut with matching dies. Form the leaves with your fingers, grab the sides of each individual leaf, join them together for a moment, creating a recess in the middle, while lifting the sides of the leaf up.

Create a simple flower arrangement as shown by interlacing the twigs and leaves with each other. Apply a small amount of glue to a few places to make the composition three-dimensional.

On a plain white cardstock strip measuring approximately 1.5" x 2.5", stamp the sentiment from the Special Birthday Sentiments HCPC-3843 set using the Bamboo Leaves color. From the gold cardboard, cut a slightly larger strip and mat the sentiment. 

Place on the bottom on the recycled carton as shown.
