Hello Friend
Hello bloggers! I cut the Magnolia Cover Plate with a piece of black card on top of a piece of white card. I cut the die again two more times, in green and in white. I used the fall away pieces and paper pieced them back into the die. When I did the flower petals, I inked the inside edge with Worn Lipstick distress ink before paper piecing them. I cut the Hello Friend sentiment from Wordie Sheets and added it at the bottom of the card. I matted the card in white and pink. I cut the 3D Card Marker in white and glued it to the inside of the card. I used the Wild Birds die set and cut three birds. I inked them with distress inks and the glued one to the branch and one to the nest on the top of the card. I glued the last one to the bottom of the card. I used the Wild Roses and filled in the pop up area with them in shades of aqua and ocean. I added greenery from the Fabulous Foliage die set as accents. I cut some stems and added the roses to them and glued them to the bottom of the card on either side of the bird. I added the sentiment You Make My Heart Bloom cut in black to complete the card. The dimensions are ???? in size.

Hi Sue. I love it when you use the card maker dies because you never know what you are going to find when you open the card to reveal what you have created inside. What a lovely surprise.
