I wanted to make another card for 2 challenges, Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge "Things with Wings" and {Embellish} Magazine Birds color challenge. I came upon this embossed vellum floral paper by K&Company that I have been hoarding forever and decided it would make a lovely background for a Tim Holtz birdcage. I carefully cut out around 2 of the larger flowers and a leaf, and inserted the cage to look like it was hanging among the flowers. The bird is an unknown digital image which I colored in brown and peachy rose and popped above the cage. The sentiment is from a little clear studio g set sent to me by Sue.
Gorgeous card Linn, love that birdcage, and the buttons you added across the bottom, great touch!
