For more ideas on creating with the Elegant Gateway Dies and Accents, watch the tutorial at https://youtu.be/H6fZTiYUH_w. Instructions:  Card size: 4 3/4 X 7 1/8”.  Side fold, Place die on a piece of White cardstock folded to 5 X 7 1/2" with the left side hanging over the edge just past cutting edge to get as full as possible to card size.  Cut another front to get complete shape then glue it to the card base.  From decorative lavender papercut the decorative inside with the outer edge outline and inner outline as well (tape dies together to get the best spacing).  Place the Happy Birthday die somewhere on the inside (it will cut separately so it does not need to be taped in place.  Sponge all the edges of lavender die cuts then glue them to the card front with the Happy Birthday in the center of open spot. Stamp the butterfly and fern with Memento, die cut and color.  Stamp the filler with Fern Green, sponge with yellow, die cut.  Stamp the Clematis with Deep Purple, sponge with Majestic Violet, die cut.  Stamp Clematis leaves with Fern Green, sponge with Leaf Green and Majestic Violet, die cut.  Use the shaping mold to form the flowers and the leaves.   Fringe some yellow cardstock and roll to make Clematis Stamen.  Glue into centers then add Prills. Pop up butterfly body at the top right side of card then add pearls to the tail end to form a flight trail.  (If you don’t have yellow pearls just dye the pearls using alcohol ink like Copic).  Start at the bottom left side to arrange Clematis and leaves going upward on the die cut trellis.  Insert the yellow Rose Hip Stamen and white Pollen Stamen.  Insert the fern and yellow filler flowers.  Add Nuvo drops of yellow or Liquid Pearls to the filler flowers to add interest.  Glitter all the flowers and the card front randomly.  Add yellow acrylic dots where desired to finish arrangement.  Use a brush to “paint on” shimmer/lacquer mixture on the fern and leaves.

My next card features those sweet little birds

and birdhouse.
