This is my card for the Ways to Use It Challenge, WT480. This was my first attempt at a rolled flower die from MFT. I used the Sno Cone Blue Felt from MFT and although it's not "perfect", it resembles a rose well enough, lol. I was out of my comfort zone with this card as I did not do any machine stitching. I kept feeling like the card wasn't finished without the machine stithing...nevertheless, I restrained myself for the discipline of not getting into a rut.
Not much involved in this other than die cutting and paper punching. The upper right blue flower was cut from a coordinating piece of Pebble's "Family Ties" DP. The small yellow flowers were punched and popped up as was the bird and medium blue flower.

I love using DP for popped-up elements - I have quite a collection of 12x12 scrapbook DP chosen expressly for that purpose .
And, if that's your first attempt at a rolled rose I am pretty impressed. I had to get a lesson from Bridget (bfinlay) before I ended up with one I was happy to use on a card. I love the combination of the polka dot and gingham, and you've also used one of my favourite verses.
I like the verse anyway in its own right, and always have; but it also reminds me of a very dear African brother whose name translates into English as "My Glory".
p.s. - I love the way you've finished it off so beautifully with the pearls and bling.
