I have lots of layer on this card, but I think it's pretty easy to see from the photo how the layers were assembled.  I just love the Square Frames die for square cards.  

My blue/tan background paper was made using Distress Inks spritzed with water.  My flowers and foliage were created with the Floral Bouquet die set which is such a versatile flower set.  I used some of the same paper from my background for the blue flower petals along with some dark blue and kraft color cardstock.  The layers were also inked with an old script stamp for some additional interest.  The flowers and foliage were cut and then shaped with a stylus and foam pad.  The flowers were layered and finished off with some cool metal gear embellishments from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I added a pretty butterfly to the right side of the card to balance things out.

I started with a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" brown card base.  I backed a piece of pink cardstock with Stick It Adhesive and cut using the Quatrefoil A2 Frame 2.  I adhered the die cut to a piece of cream cardstock.  I then trimmed that to 3-1/2" x 4-3/4".  I layered that on to pink cardstock and then brown cardstock leaving a small border on each.  Then I added some natural mulberry paper and wet the edges to tear leaving a feathery edge.

I created my Love You Sentiment in the same fashion.  Apply Stick It Adhesive to the back of pink cardstock, cut with the Love You die and then adhere to cream cardstock.  I then cut a brown base using the Square Pierce & Cut die.  This was then backed with natural mulberry paper.  I ran a piece of 5/8" Turftan Brown Delicate Stitched Satin topped with 3/8" Sherbet double-faced satin ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon across the top of the main panel dove-tailing the sherbet ribbon.  Then the sentiment panel was attached on top of that.

The beautiful roses were created with the small and medium tea rose dies.  I used both cream and pink cardstock to build the layers.  I inked the cream using wadded wax paper and also inked the edges of both colors for definition.  Then the leaves were shaped and the flowers were assemble.  The flowers and foliage were added to the card below the sentiment.

The card was finished off with a pretty bi-color double-loop bow using Sherbet and Turftan Brown Delicate Stitched Satin from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

This beautiful Quadrafoil Square Doily is up there in my top all time favorites list.  Isn't it gorgeous?!

You know I'm also in love with making beautiful handmade roses and today I used the wonderful Medium Tea Rose die.  I cut the layers in brown and tan and I inked the tan layer with an old script background stamp for texture and also inked the edges.  I then shaped the layers and assembled.
