To recreate the crafting with you card, you will need:

Petal Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Pretty Peacock card – 3 ¾” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 4½” by 3”
Pretty Peacock card – 3” by 3”
Basic White card – 2½” by 2½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

I wasn’t sure what I wanted to back the panel with and found a Pretty Peacock scrap that I though might look nice just peeping out on each side………. Sadly, it didn’t. I ended up cutting the piece in half diagonally and adding the triangles with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive in the upper right and lower left corner. I had originally planned to trim off the pointy bits but decided I liked them.

I stamped the trio of flowers in Petal Pink ink in the upper left and lower right corners of the Petal Pink card base and added the stamped panel using the liquid glue.
