Instructions
1. Fold and burnish the card base. Fold in half as normal and then fold the 4cm crease back onto itself so you end up with a zig zag sort of shape.
2. Attach the inside panel, and the front side panel to the card using glue.
3. After having die cut all of the different hexagon shapes needed, glue the 2nd largest melon mambo and the frame hexagon together and then glue the 3rd largest white one into the frame section. Glue all of the largest melon mambo to the largest white hexagons, making sure you glue both the reverse sides together as this gives a nicer finish from the back of the card, having the right sides facing out.
4. Glue 2 of the largest white hexagons to the front side panel, lining them up with the edges of the dsp.
5. Attach the 3rd of the largest white hexagons using dimensionals, this is placed centrally over the other 2 already attached just higher up so that it lies flush with the side of the card. 
This is how it should look on the side of the card.
6. The 2 hexagons that have the embossed dots on them are attached using dimensionals on the section that over hangs and glue on the section that lies flush onto the white hexagons.
7. The frame hexagon is attached so that it hangs over the edge using glue on the section that sits flush and dimenionals on the over hang (be careful not apply anything to the section that is hanging over the edge of the card).
The leaves are attached with glue and tucked under the frame hexagon hanging over the edge of the card.
8. Die cut the label for adding the sentiment to by making it a bit longer than it actually is, this is really easy to do by just moving the die along and not die cutting the whole shape in one.
Cut part of it, slide the die up and then just cut part of it again so that the 2 parts cut meet in the middle.
9. Stamp the sentiment and then fussy cut out using paper snips, attach to the label with glue. Attach to the card front using dimensionals.
10. Attach the bow using a glue dot and finish the card off by adding some of the irredescent rhinestones.
I finshed my card off with another sentiment inside the card, this doesn't show whilst the card is shut but once opened it's revealed to the recipient.
Well I hope you enjoyed todays card, and it wasn't too complicatied for you to follow, it's actually a very easy card to assemble, it's just not easy writing the instructions for it lol.
