SUO Challenge #24 Get Well

I made this card for the SUO Challenge#24-Get Well cards, here.
The base is Lucky Limeade and then I added some Concord Crush card stock and a paper from the Cheerful Treat DSP. I punched out the flowers with the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer punch and Lucky Limeade, Bashful Blue, Melon Mambo, and Concord Crush card stocks. The Cheerful Treat DSP for the center of the flowers was punched out with the 3/4 inch Circle punch.  I popped up each flower with a Stampin' dimensional. I also popped up the entire square piece with Stampin' dimensionals. I stamped Get Well Soon from Sincere Salutations in Concord Crush and punched it out with the Large Oval punch. I layered that onto a Concord Crush piece punched with the Scallop Oval punch. Finally, some 3/8 inch Lucky Limeade ruffled ribbon finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:

That was layered onto an Indigo piece punched with the 2 1/2 inch Scallop Circle punch and popped up with Stampin' dimensionals. I stamped the triangles from Pennant Parade in Baha Breeze and cut them out. Finally, some 1/4 inch Rich Razzleberry grosgrain was snipped out with scissors to create the banner look.
