So... I tooknthose materials amd made this pretty purple pop-up card. Note the little gems and the colour variations in the diecut greenery.

Work in progress: a paper pop-up planter card with pretty purple posies. Note the embossed wood texture, the variegated leaves, and the use of gems. I'm going to assemble this on a card using combinations of these patterned scrapbook papers.

Another pop-up card—this time in turquoise and lime green. Note the embossed, distressed wood texture, subtle coliur gradients in the leaves, and tiny gems. The patterned background is leftover wrapping paper.

An Osprey parent bringing back breakfast, an orange koi. There's an adult on the nest (on the right with yellow eyes), along with four nestlings (three easily seen, another one tucked in in the back.) I'm pretty sure someone's fancy fish pond has been a popular fishing spot for these Osprey.

Young Great Blue Herons have been testing their wings and leaving their nests, and these two landed on nearby tree. They were working hard to keep their balance, while also seeming to try to knock the other bird off the tree top with their wings.
