I was inspired to create this card today:

I used the photo inspiration from the ‘Inspired By…..’ challenge as a starting point.

The background panel is dry embossed using a Spellbinders embossing folder, and cut to the size of the card – 5 x 7 inches this time.

The envelope die is also from Spellbinders, using a couple of sheets from their paper pads, and comes from a pack that creates a 3D envelope, but I cut off the sides and adhered the front to the base of the envelop with 3D foam to allow insertion of the elements.

The flowers are from a mixture of die sets from Spellbinders and Scrapbook and Cards Today, layered as necessary, and using Concord & 9th card stock.

I then played around with the floral arrangement until I had what I wanted, and adhered with glue and 3D foam. I was trying to achieve the overflowing envelope as per the picture, and also used the colours of the flowers to match too.

No added bling on this card, I think there is a lot going on already, and there is a touch of gold from the hearts on the front panel of the envelope.
