Darling card! After years of making cards and scrap layouts I still find it hard to line up all the layers. Once my adhesive grabs hold it's hard to realign!!
Congrats on your first card!!

Your card rocks! Love the colors you chose, and the polka dot embossing folder is so sweet - love how it echoes the polka dots in your flowers. You also used the "rule of three" when you placed three flowers on your card (not that you have to follow rules at all, but they say odd numbers are more visually pleasing). Welcome to stamping - it's so addictive, and so rewarding! Can't wait to see more of your creations! Also... the stamp-a-ma-jig is my best friend!

...although, a stamp-a-ma-jig will not help you with lining up layers. I find that standing up to see them from above helps quite a bit. If you're using a tape runner, it can grab the paper too quickly sometimes; try using liquid glue until you get the hang of it. Liquid glue lets you "wiggle" the paper a little bit after you place it, so you have some time to get it right. Your card looks great!
