Friends easel birthday card

Hi this is a card that i made for my friend. she is also a crafter so i really wanted to make sure she was impressed with the card, IYKWIM.
So i decided to make an easel card. i used nestabilities to make the scalloped circle and the inside layer ( my first time and I LOVE them!) a daisy and dandelion decoupage kit, 6 white card candies, that i coloured in using my promarkers, i embossed the card using swiss dots, and also did this on the bottom and scored 2 lines, and a chiffony lilac ribbon. i really like how this card turned out!
