Supplies:
2 sheets of white paper
scissors
crayons
sketch-pens
pencil
glue
Instructions:
First, fold one sheet of white paper in half. Then fold the bottom of the front flap (as shown in the picture ) and cut along the folded line.
Color the front flap (tip: you can color the back too, if you wish and the cut-out strip of paper.
Then cut the length of the narrow strip in parallel, vertical lines (as shown) and stick it to the bottom of the front flap. Take care to stick it a bit higher so the front flap is shorter than the bottom one, for added interest.

Draw 4 unequal flower shapes, two rectangles and the shape of a flower pot on the other white sheet of paper. Color the shapes and cut them out.
Roll each of the two green rectangles and stick them on top of the card with glue. They'll form the stem of the flowers.
Stick the brown paper cut-out on top of the stems (as shown). It'll form the flower pot.
Stick one flower cut-out on top of each stem.

Then, stick the other two flower cut-outs on top of them (as shown).
Fold up the flower petals to give a nice stuck-out effect (as shown).
Really nice idea for handmade card-making. We'll enjoy using your idea here as we like making our own cards as much or as often as we can. Receiving handmade cards is the best.
'This is a wonderful card, and the directions where you wrote on there what to do are great and easy to follow! I am going to do this with all the kids in the neighborhood when they are over here and bored!
