Mount the front panel outside onto the basecard using dimensionals to pop it up. 
Use the mechanism panel to pop up the center panel more.
color in the birds and branches as desired. and mount the bird panel using the popup mechanism ( I used the DSP to copy the colors on the birds! )
Any diecut can be popped up this way - use regular white if you don't want a strong spring- thick crdstock if you want it to pop more- lays flat to mail and pops up so pretty...
