Hi Everyone 😀

I fancied doing a 3d easter card, i had just purchased a meadow flower die 🌻 and wanted to see how it would look in 3d. Firstly i got some green cardstock and adheres a piece of double sided adhesive to the back they come in big a4 sheets and you cut off the amount you want, peel off the back and then adhere that to the cardstock, it is very handy when doing intricate die cutting as it is easier than trying to stick tiny slithers of double sided tape to the intricasies of the die, I put my butterflower border die (thats what it is called) through my Big Shot four times, twice with green cardstock that had double sided adhesive on it and twice without. 💚 I did it four times because of the size of my card base, you just adjust it to the size of your cardbase mat layer. 

I used a mat layer on my card, i used a mat layer, but you can adhere it to your base card if you choose it doesnt matter. I used my stampendous happy easter wooden stamp to stamp the image onto the cardstock, i then peeled the  backing off the first to pieces of the green cardstock and adhered it to the bottom of my mat layer, 

I then using my glue pen adhered the second layer or green die cut cardstock on top of the first layer, but i only placed the glue on the bottom of the die cut, this left the leaves sticking up to give the 3d effect. Now the fun part 😁 using my gel pens or whatever pens you have you can colour the flowers and butterflies whatever colour you want, i  then used my bunny die and using again the adhesive sheet stuck to the back of the cardstock i cut out several little bunnies 🐇 and then peeling off the back adhered them to the card, i tucked some behind the first layer of the border to make it look like the bunnies were in the grass, i had a tiny butterfly die and i die cut several of them in various colours and adhered them to the cardstock to make it look like they were flying. Using my tonic studios small flower punch i punched out some little tiny flowers in different colours 🌸💮🌺🌼 and adhered them to the border die cut meadow, some at the front and some on the bottom layer, to give depth, i then got some tiny half pearls and adhered them to the centre of the flower this made the flowers stand out more with beautiful centres, I coloured in the stamped sentiment in lovely bright colours, The bright colours made it look spring like to me, i loved it, what do you think, I hope you like it , 3d cards are fun to make and i hope you agree they make a delightful unusual card 😎

Thankyou for reading, happy crafting! 😊
