Vintage looking greeting card

This is a card I created using one of Magpie Mine's Collage Sheets from her etsy shop. 
Here is the tutorial. 
Items needed:
1 card and envelope
vintage ink stamp pad
1 pretty piece of cardstock
1 image from Magpie Mines Shop
fancy edged scissors
glue
letter stamps
4 paper flowers
something to embellish the center of the flower
Step 1 Cut and glue the cardstock to fit the center of the card
Step 2 Cut and glue the image from Magpie Mines shop with fancy edged scissors, onto the cardstock
Step 3 Glue the 2 paper flowers to the corner after antiquing them with the stamp pad
Step 4 Glue on a bauble to the center of the flowers or make a swirl with a metallic gel pen
Step 5 Antique all  the edges of the card and envelope
Step 6 Glue on small rectangle of the cardstock after cutting it with the fancy edged scissors
Step 7 Glue on the last two flowers after antiquing them
Step 8 Stamp a saying or a greeting to the side of the image
Ta-da! It's that simple. Looks sweet, huh? No I'll have to send it out to a special friend.
