Cheryl's challenge was perfect for me to make a special card for my sweet, amazing mother-in-law who turns 90 next week. She's tiny - even before she started shrinking with age she was under 5 foot tall, so a little miniature garden seems perfect for her.
I used the Pop-Up Box card tutorial.
Pleasant Poppies was stamped multiple times and sponged with colour, and then I added some little flowers from HFC along the front border.
I added a little butterfly on the back panel, and dressed up all the folding panels with lace borders diecut from one of the papers in the pad. DH doesn't like the seam binding on the sentiment - but he didn't like the distressed look of the paper underneath it either; I can't win on that one!!

LOL the last time I used seam binding (coloured and scrunched within an inch of its life), my DH said....maybe it would look better if you iron the ribbon!! Everything about this is perfect Sabina, I am sure your MIL will love it.
