Fun with Fabric Challenge, take 2

At Moxie Fab World, the current challenge is creating with fabric.  My friend told me how nicely the Tim Holtz die cuts through fabric, and she is so right!  This was a piece of upholstery fabric, a kind of textured velvet, and I got a great cut first time!

That went so well that I tried all kinds of printed cotton quilting fabrics for the bird; they cut equally as well, but I couldn't seem to get a color combination I liked. Finally I tried this piece of pale yellow felt, and liked

that the best.

I just added a blue gem eye to the bird, and some flowering gems on the birdcage to mimic the similarly-shaped flowers on the leaves, then added the sentiment and a bow of twine at the top.
