I wanted to try a partial die cutting technique that Jennifer McGuire demonstrated on her blog, where you line up your die where you want the cutting to stop and then align that with the edge of your cutting plate. Then you use a paper cutter and a craft knife to cut the rest of the straight edge. So the "hello" is still connected to the rest of the card. Then the whole panel is popped up. Such a fun look. The calliope die is colored with copics, and stickles are added for the bling that I seem to have to have!

Love your brightly-colored flowers, and the sparkle on the edges of their petals is so gorgeous. Beautiful color on the card base and in combination with the crisp white, it's lovely!!! You make the most beautiful cards!

This is brilliant. I love the colors. I would love to try to do the word cutting at some point as it really lends itself to a whole new card. Super job on this card.
