Instructions:

Card size: 6 X 6 1/8”.  Use a piece of white cardstock 6 X 12” and fold in half to start.  Use the plain edge of the Petite Pocket Accent to cut through both layers, on both sides to create the decorative edged sides.  Cut 2 each of both of the decorative dies in the Petite Pocket set out of white cardstock.  Glue the narrower decorative die to the back of the wider die on both sets.  Use the plain edge of the Petite Pocket set to cut decorative paper to match card front, glue it to the card then glue decorative Petite Pocket Accents to each side.

Stamp and die cut using black ink, the wishing well, birdhouse, birds, and branch with birds then color with Copic Markers or your favorite coloring system.  Die cut the wishing well out of a foam sheet (like Fun Foam). Stamp Cherry Blossoms on white using Rose Madder, sponge with Rose Madder and Buttercup then die cut.  Stamp Floral Fashionista blossoms on yellow using Buttercup and die cut.  Stamp leaves on white using Fern Green and sponge with Leaf green and Rose Madder then die cut.  Form the birds, leaves and blossoms in the shaping molds and let dry completely.  Pierce blossoms and insert the stamen, coral for the Cherry Blossoms and white for the Floral Fashionista blossoms.  Glue the wishing well to the foam wishing well and glue it to the right bottom part of the card.  Glue the branch, birds on branch and birdhouse to left upper part of the card.  Glue flowers and leaves to the bottom left side of card and add some small flowers to the upper right side of card.  Add enamel dots to corners.  Cut a small tag from the decorative paper then add a small bow to the hole area and glue it to the upper left corner of card.  Add glitter to all the flowers.
