Birthday Card #4 Flower Power

 Today's featured Birthday Card is "Flower Power."  Sorry this one pretty much is for a girl but I had to include it. 
 I got the inspiration from a home and garden show I was watching years ago. 
To make this card you will need:
1 card 4x4" -this is the finished size. (if you choose to enlarge the pattern you will need to increase your card size).
1 layer piece 3 3/4 x 3 3/4
1. Make the card and attach the front layer piece.
 2. Print out the pattern.  Cut pattern piece and trace 7 flower petal pieces on your desired color of cardstock or paper. Flower Power Pattern (There are two different petal sizes included)
 3.  Assemble the flower.  I start by putting a piece of double sided tape (or a glue dot would work) on the back of each petal.  Then I start assembling.  I overlap each piece and usually have to move them around to get my flower just the way I want it.  I just don't press down the petals until I have everything where I want it to go.  The last petal should tuck under the first petal to keep them all uniform.
 4. Last I added a button for the middle and attached a piece of ribbon with a glue dot.
 You can jazz up the inside if you wish.
 There you have it.  Funky Flower Power Birthday cards.
Happy Crafting!! Enjoy.
