Pop Up Pedestal Card- For Engagement

Hello,
There are times when i make cards for people dear to me and end up getting too emotionally involved during the entire project. This was one such card.....
It was for a friend of mine who recently is going to get engaged. She was a hostel friend of mine and had lead a very difficult life. From a mom who left them halfway, to dad who was not bothered, both she and her brother have made their own way in life. No roof to stay during holidays, they stayed at some relatives house. Oh god! just thinking about such insecurity gives me chills.. Seeing her i would thank god for giving me something as basic as 2 loving parents!!! Even with so many hurdles, she always had a smile on her face. She believed in enjoying simple joys of life.
I am soooooooooo happy that finally she met someone who will give her ample of love and joy she truly deserves. I wished to gift her something priceless that she would value throughout her life. And she being an artist herself, i really had to think hard on a theme.
Once again my dear friend Dr Sonia pop up card inspired me. And i came up with a lovely theme to make my card....

This is the front of the card. .  Tulsi (thats my friend's name) would always remind me of the spring season, calm yet beautiful, serene yet lovely. Please do take some time and read the poem that i have written for her. Its straight from my heart :)

This is the inside of the card. The pedestal pop up has been inspired from Dr. Sonia's blog. The link to her tutorial is here.
I recently purchased Martha Stewart lattice heart punch from my dear blogger friend Priya craft store. Please do visit her store. She gives stuff at very reasonable rates. MS punches while feel as though they dig a hole in ur pocket. But once you use them, the feeling is absolutely priceless!!! I have fallen in love with it!!

 Here is a closer look at the pop up. I have added 2 engagement rings. Made them from pearls and gold paper stock. I wanted the inside to look pristine and romantic...
In the front of card, i have added a waterfall card mechanism. It shows the couples story step by step  ;) I just hope she likes it. Here are a few shots of the waterfall card

I will have to brush up my photography skills i guess :) But hope u guys liked the card. Am a little nervous about how would Tulsi like it. I really hope that she loves it.
Please do leave back your comments too!!!
