Quilled flowers pop up card

So for my son's Teacher appreciation week at school, i decided to make cards. And i have been fascinated by the kinds of cards you can make and all the stampin up products out there - so i have been playing with that. That's when i came across the explosion and the pop up cards - all of them had paper flowers - and i thought - we should be able to put some quilled flowers in there - but would it be too heavy? Then i came across

And here was a pop up card with quilled flowers - PERFECT - Mona Jain you have done an awesome job! Love the detail and colors.
So i attempted something similar.
I got the basic card in a  box base instructions from

Cynthias stampin up card tutorials
Cynthia has the details with the dimensions.
My son's teacher mentioned she loved coral, yellow and green....so i thought those were the spring colors i would go with. And here is the result.
The flowers were basic quilled flowers that i pasted onto thicker green stock as stems.
This is with the card flat - so that you can put it in an envelope
