I saw a card like this on the internet at some point and have to give the credit to Sharon Field at www.createdbyu.blogspot.com (who is a Stampin Up Creative Coach).  Check out her website for inspiration.  You will love it.   My card isn't exactly like hers but the style is very close.....

Supplies:
Paper:  Stampin Up 'Whisper White', 'Old Olive', 'Real Read', Water Color Paper
Stamps:  More Merry Messages and Kidoodles
Ink:  Black Stazon
Chalk:  Stampin Up
Embelishments:  Rubber Cafe 'Red' Jellies and Stampin Up Red Polka-dot Ribbon
Adhesive:  Rubber Cafe Double-sided tape and Scrap Happy Sheer Glue, Dimensionals (SU), Pop-up Dots (SU).
Misc: Paper Cutter, Big Shot, Embossing Folder 'Holly' by Sizzix,Postage Stamp Punch from Stampin Up, Blender Pen (SU).

Steps: 
  1.  Cut a card base that folds to 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" using Whisper White.
  2.  Cut card front to emboss 4" X 5 1/4" using Whisper White.
  3.  Run card front through Big Shot to emboss.
  4.  Adhere the card front to the card base.
  5.  Cut a green strip from Old Olive Cardstock measuring 5" X 1 1/2".
  6.  Cut a red strip from Real Read Cardstock measuring 4 7/8 X 1 5/8".
  7.  Adhere the red strip to the green strip. 
  8.  Stamp the images on Water Color Paper using Stazon black ink.
  9.  Color the images using a blender pen (SU) and chalk.
10.  Punch out the images using the Postate Stamp Punch.
11.  Adhere to the red strip with double sided tape.
12.  Using Pop-up Dots....adhere the decorated strip to the card.  This will lift the strip a bit giving
       it dimension. 
13.  Stamp the 'message' on Water-color paper with Black Stazon or any black ink.
14.  Cut a piece of 'Old Olive' slightly larger than the word image.
15.  Mount the verse on the green cardstock and then adhere to the card front.
16.  Tie a bow and stick it to card-front with a glue dot. 

So fun!  Hope you will try it.....
Blessings to you.....

Supplies: Cardstock: Crushed Curry, Not Quite Navy 'Patterns' DSP. Rub-ons: 'Fashion District'.Ribbon: 1/2" Polka Dot Grosgrain 'Crushed Curry'. Punch: 'Scallop Trim Border'.Embellishments: Trinket Key, Corduroy 'Summer Sun' and 'Daffodil Delight' brads.Misc: Sticky Pages, Heat Embossing tool, Sizzix Circle #2. This was fun because I tried a technique I hadn't ever tried before. Did you know that if you use a heat tool you can crumple the ribbon? It works best with satin.....but has some interesting effects on other kinds as well. Can't wait to try it on some other projects. Thanks for the challenge 411! To make a flower : Cut a circle of Sticky Pages (I used the Sizzix Circle die #2...the 2nd smallest). Take the 'red' side off. Cut about a 12" piece of ribbon. Each inch cut a slice about 3/4 of the way across the ribbon leaving one side in-tact. Holding the cut side out....start circling the sticky piece from th...
