Start with a Parakeet Party cardstock card base. Cut a Rings of Love Designer Series Paper (DSP) panel and a Basic White cardstock panel. Die cut the tree frame from the Aspen Trees dies into the Basic White cardstock panel. Glue the Basic White cardstock tree frame to the DSP panel and then glue the panels to the card base.
Die cut Parakeet Party cardstock leaves and a Rings of Love DSP flower sprig with the Aspen Trees dies. Die cut a Basic White cardstock stitched circle with the Stylish Shapes dies. Stamp the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Memento Black ink on the stitched circle.
Stamp the bird from the Perched In A Tree stamp set on Basic White cardstock in Memento Black ink. Die cut out the bird with the Aspen Trees dies. Color the bird with Stampin' Blends and add Wink of Stella to the bird's feathers for sparkle.
Layer on the die cut Parakeet Party leaves, stitched circle (making sure the sentiment is positioned the way you want), and the flower sprig to the to the bottom left side of the card front with glue. Add the bird with Stampin' Dimensionals on the bottom left of the card front overlapping the leaves, flower sprig, and stitched circle. Add Champagne rhinestones to the card front for extra sparkle.
Don't forget to add a Basic White cardstock inside panel. Stamp the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set and add a strip of Rings of Love DSP to the inside and back of the card to pull the theme through.
