Happy Retirement

Hi everyone!  I wanted to share this retirement card I made using the new Aviary stamp set.  I stamped three of the birdcages in Early Espresso ink and then stamped the tallest one separately so I could cut it out and pop it up on Dimensionals.  I then layered it onto Blushing Bride and Peach Parfait card stock and then added a piece of Pear Pizazz ribbon.  Then all of that was added onto an Early Espresso card base.  I stamped one of the birds outside of its cage, like it was free, to go with the whole retirement thing, lol.  I added some hearts coming from the free bird and the Happy Retirement sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes.  I then finished it off with some faux stitching.
Thanks for looking!  :)

I like that pop up Happy Retirement card. My wife and I are planning to give little gifts for our parents and their friends in Fort Worth, Texas. Most of 'em are looking for senior communities where they'll be staying permanently. Can we imitate this design? Thanks!
