How I Made Swirly Bird Love :

• I Cut the base card thick Whisper White to 15 cm x 15 cm
• I also cut a acetate window sheet to 15 cm x 18 cm. I folded this on the 15 cm mark leaving a 3 cm flap at the back
• I cut the front panel from the thick whisper white at 7.5 using the wavy lines thinlits from the Swirly Scribbles set. I trimmed it to the fold leaving the bottom half intact as shown above.
• So the top of the acetate and the card base lined up I used a marker I&lined up where I wanted the long scribbles thinlits to sit. I then ran them through the bigshot .
• Once both the acetate and the base were cut I lined them up and stuck them together by adding Tear & Tape to the 3 cm flap of the acetate. I had to trim the top of the 3 cm flap down by hand to fit snugly.
• I cut a piece of Crumb Cake card stock 14 cm wide and then marked the top at 14 cm high. I used the swirly scribbles thinlit to match the top of the card base.
• I used all of the swirly stamps to make rose shapes all over a piece of  Sugar Plum card stock. I used Blushing Bride, Sweet Sugarplum & Whisper White ink pads for this, layering the colours for effect.
• I also stamped a few roses onto whisper white card stock.
• I then cut the stamped Sweet Sugarplum to measure 13 cm wide and marked it at 13 cm high. I placed the wavy thinlits there at the mark and ran through the big shot.
• I layered these onto the back of the card, as you can see in the picture below.
• Using the same technique of measuring and trimming to size I cut two layers for the middle of the card as seen above.
• I only needed one layer to add to the front and that was the Crumb Cake on top of the existing white card base.

• I then cut two strips if the wavy scribbles in Crumb Cake & Sugar Plum. 
• After adhering these strips to the front and the middle using my snail adhesive I cut my stamped roses using the scribbles rose and placing the middle of that over the stamped image. 

( I do wish I had a stand to make a video to show you)

• I also used the smallest shapes from the Swirly Scribbles set and die cut some little centres out of my stamped rose images.
• I die cut 3 sets of green leaves from the 'Flourish' thinlits set. 2 of these I cut down so I had 3 leaves at the top and a small stem. I then cut the last two leaves so that one had a stem and one was just a leaf on it's own. These were added to each page of the card. Please see pics for more detail.
• I added 3 roses each to the front and the middle of the card using dimensionals, 1 large and 2 small.
• I die cut the heart & 3 words - the Heart in Sweet Sugarplum, 'Hope' in Whisper White, 'Sunshine' in Sweet Sugarplum & 'LOVE' in Crumb Cake.
• I layered the words, one on each page of the card. On the last page I placed the heart under the word Love and also stamped some splatters in Sweet Sugarplum. 
• I stamped the sweet little bird in Sweet Sugar Plum onto Crumb Cake and fussy cut around him. Stamping his feet onto the card then adding him by adhering with a dimensional.
•  To finish it all off I added rhinestones to the center of each flower and tied a piece of Thick Whisper White Bakers Twine around the middle of the card.
• I added a touch more sparkle by adding \clear Wink of Stella to the lightest part of each rose.
