Here's another card using the Lovely Floral Embossing folder from Stampin' Up!.  This time I used Stampin' Blend markers to color the embossed vellum and then attached it to the card mat with the colored side down.  You get a softer look where it is colored,  compared to when you place it with the colored side up.  I added my new favorite Happy Birthday sentiment from Blow Out the Candles stamp set, which I cut out using the coordinating Candles and Confetti dies.  This is an A2 size card. 

Material List:
-Stamp Sets:  Blow Out the Candles
-Dies: Candle & Confetti Framelits
-Inks: Blueberry Bushel
-Cardstock:  Blueberry Bushel, Whisper White, Vellum
-Embellishments: Scrap Piece of a coordinating ribbon
-Blends:  Light Night of Navy, Dark Daffodil Delight, Dark Rich Razzleberry, & Light Old Olive 
-Basics: Adhesive Tape Runner, Scissors, Mini Glue Dots, Tombow Glue, Dimensionals, Paper Trimmer,  Big Shot
 
-Card Base:  Whisper White A2 Card (Folded Size 5-1/2" x 4-1/4")
-Blueberry Bushel Bottom Base Mat:  (5-1/4" x 4")
-Vellum Top Mat:  (5" x 3-3/4")
-Scrap piece of Whisper White to stamp the sentiment

Directions:
--Cut the top and bottom mats to size per list.
--Insert the Vellum top mat in the embossing folder and run thru Big Shot.
--Color the largest center flower with the Light Night of Navy SB on the underneath side of the vellum.
--Continue to color the 2 large flowers with the Dark Daffodil Delight SB,  the small flowers with the Dark Rich Razzleberry SB, the leaves and branches with the Light Old Olive SB - all on the underneath side of the vellum.
-Attach the vellum to the Blueberry Bushel bottom mat with colored side down using Mini Glue Dots - placing them under the larger flower pieces, and where the sentiment and ribbon will be placed, so they aren't visible
--Stamp the Birthday sentiment from Blow Out the Candle stamp set on a scrap piece of Whisper White.
--Die Cut the sentiment using the die from Candles & confetti Framelits.
--Thread a scrap of coordinating ribbon thru the die cut, apply dimensionals to the back of the sentiment to adhere to Blueberry Bushel mat & then tape ends of the ribbon to the back of the mat.
--Attach Blueberry Bushel Mat to the card Base using tape runner.
