To start this card I die cut a piece of smooth white cardstock using the zig zag frame from the Frames and Tags Die Set.  I then used the Petite Flowers Stencil with Distress Oxide Inks Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed to create the background.  Next, I cut a piece of kraft paper using the frame with 3 windows die from the same die set.

I then stamped out these gorgeous images from the Hummingbird Stamp Set.  I colored the images with copic markers and cut them out using the coordinating die set.

Next, I cut out a small kraft tag using a die from the Frames and Tags Die Set.  I stamped the sentiment, which is from the Hummingbird Stamp Set, in brown pigment ink and clear heat embossed for some shine.  

I assembled my card using kraft paper for the base and popped up the windows and hummingbird with foam tape for some dimension!
