For my BFF back home who's managed to graduate college with 2 year old twins and a tween at home.
She deserved a card with class.
The white cardstock is scored in a checkered pattern, though it's hard to see. The flower was stamped (in versamark) and clear embossed four times, twice each on red and pink paper. Then the petals were cut out, smaller each layer and held together with the three brads in the center.
The leaves are made from folding green CS then using a scissors to cut out "half" of the leaf. Then they were scored for the veins. They were also inked around the edges for effect. The sentiment comes from Fun & Fast notes (sans the image).
