Teacher's Day card - Handmade

Keeping in line with the theme of the month - Stick Fun, I decided to make 3 cards for Lil P's teachers at school & day care (for Teacher's day). I also wanted it to be easy enough for Lil P to be able to help out in the process. Here's what we made.

The inside reads

Here's what we used -
  1. Crepe paper Ribbons cut into circles various sizes
  2. White Card stock paper cut into 12x6 Inch rectangle.
  3. Glue stick
  4. Green acrylic paint for the stem & leaves

Steps:
  1. Fold the card stock paper to form a 6x6 inch square card.
  2. Cut the Green ribbon vertically halfway to form the grass.
  3. Cut 1 large circle & 1 small circle from 4 contrasting colored ribbons. I used Purple, Yellow, Blue and Orange.
  4. Paste as shown in the pic. Lil p did the entire pasting on her own.
  5. Paint the stem and leaves using a brush.
We had so much fun that we ended up making 11 of the same.. So  artsy-craftsy June & July Winners, a handmade card like the one below should reach you soon. What do u think??? 
I plan to make another handmade gift for her teachers. Any suggestions???
