Hello blogland! If you've come here as part of the monthly blog hop from Simply Scrapping Crafts - welcome! Our challenge this month was to make something for our current season. I live in the US and spring is finally here - flowers and trees are waking up and birds are chirping and singing. With this in mind, here's my project to share with you:
It made a great effect - almost looks like the lines of it's feathers. I added a copper pearl for the eye and some copper brads at the bottom of the cage and I was done. A happy little spring card to make someone smile.
Be sure to check out all the things we have going on over at Simply Scrapping Crafts - daily challenges, Copic classes, card workshops, and much more. Enjoy the rest of the blog hop!
This was a really fun project to make! The cardstock is from Colorbok and the ribbon is from Michaels. The birdcage and bird are grunge board that I cut using a Tim Holtz Alternations die from Sizzix. I used some Starburst Stains from Lindy's Stamp Gang HERE: Cocoa Bean Copper for the cage and Winter Jasmine Gold and Tibetean Poppy Teal for the bird. After this was dried I covered the bird in VersaMark and several coats of UTEE embossing powder. After it was cooled, I bent and cracked the UTEE on the bird.
