Cherry Blossom Retreat Pop-Up Shadow Box Card

Hello friends and welcome to Heartfelt inspiration post...

Today I have a card inspired by Jennifer McGuire  
She shared a card technique recently which adds a lot of depth to a card and I loved it...
Here is my take on that technique.
I have used 3D flowers and raised elements so it won't fit in a flat envelope but it will still fold flatter than the actual dimension...The gap between the front and back panel of the card is almost 1" and it stands on its own for displaying... The birdhouse inside appears to be floating midair thanks to the acetate piece (visible in last pic)
Read till the end for full list of products used and instructions for this card...
