I stamped "Happy" several times, without re-inking, on a panel. I distressed the edges and adhered it to card base.
I cut some poppies, using CTMH Flower Market Cricut Cartrige, colored them with alcohol-based makers and adhered them on card.
I added washi tape at the bottom and some Dimensional Magic Glitter - Gold on the flowers.

*********************************

This is my 5"x 7" card, using EyeConnect Crafts' Lace-Up: Celebration, Flags...

I brushed white gesso on the Lace-Up: Celebration, Flags, let dry and removed them from the carrier.

I taped different washi tapes on the Flags, trimmed the excess off, re-punched the holes and added a polka-dot ribbon.

I trimmed a light pink panel and stamped "chicken wire" (center) and sentiment (around the edges) with light pink ink (CTMH stamps). 

I die cut a white frame in my ScanNCut and stamped texture (CTMH) with brown ink. I outlined it with a fine tip black pen and adhered it on the pink panel.

I stamped sentiment in brown and added a cluster of paper flowers, with sequins in the centers.

Finally, I added the Flags on with foam tape for dimension.
