Everyday Enchantment Day 3 Sale-A-Bration

Welcome back to day 3 of the Everyday Enchantment Showcase.

Today's card is a very quick and easy card to make, if you've forgotten somebody's special day. The card was original inspired by Monica, I love her blog, Most days I get up in the morning, make a drink and my Porridge & check out my favourite blogs, I love Monica's Projects as they are so classic & stylish.
The flower on the card is one from a batch I had left over after teaching the scrunched 3d flowers at my workshops last year, so this card was really quick to make up. The technique on the main panel is called the embedded technique I first saw it on a sample at Peterborough Training back in January.
To do the embedded technique you glue all of the elements onto the panel & then run the panel through an embossing folder, for this card I've used the square lattice folder.

To make this card I've used the following Stampin' Up products
Cardstock
Pool Party
Whisper White
Poppy Parade
Ink

Papers
Everyday Enchantment papers
Tools
Scallop Square punch
Fancy flower punch
Paper piercing tool
Mat Pack
Square Lattice embossing Folder
Sizzix Big shot
Stamps 
Elementry Elegance ~ SAB
Embellishments
Antique Brads ( in the centre of the flower)
Scallop dots ribbon ~ Old Olive
Shimmer mist made with Champagne mist Shimmer paint.

For the flower I have used 5 layers of card punched with the fancy flower punch, you can use all of the same punch as I've done here or you can layer up different size punch out like the 5 petal punch & Boho Blossoms punch.
