Instructions:
To create the inset flower border first die cut your flowers and arrange them on the cardstock how you want them.  This will give you a die cutting template of sorts.
(Designer tip)
It can be tricky to center all the flower die cuts, so I cut my cardstock 1/2" larger than I need allowing me to trim it down perfectly centered at the end.  

Step 1:

Step 2:

Continue working your way out with Step 3:

Finish working your way out with Step 4:

 

Trim white panel down to card size by centering with Step 5:

Lastly I scored vertical lines spaced 1/4" apart and adhered to card front using foam squares.  Assemble and adhere the pale blue and lavender flowers, inserting them into their pre-cut holes.  Here is a side view.

My second card uses the Tudor Rose in it's historical colors. There is an amazing history to the Tudor Rose.  It was the official emblem for the Tudor Dynasty and King Henry VII.  The red and white flower colors combined the emblems of the House of York and House of Lancaster when King Henry married Elizabeth of York.
Here is the image, isn't it stunning?

My card frames the Tudor Rose with a regal frame stamped and embossed with gold powder.  Simple gold accents finish the card.
