Birdcage

Hi everybody, I hope you have all been enjoying this Easter weekend despite the cold weather. At last our snow is starting to melt although it is still bitterly cold and we are still having snow flurries, but they are very short lived.
 My Card


Click on image to enlarge picture

My card today is a shaped card from Craftwork Cards. The cards are white which looked a bit stark so I covered the front with cream cardstock and cut out the shape with a knife - quite fiddly ! It was then extremely simple. I used candi, again from Craftwork Cards, and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. The leaf spray is a Woodcraft punch. The bird is a white diecut that I sponged with Versacolour Mocha Truffle. I lined the inside with a K and Company paper that I have had for years and because the bird is visible from the inside too I gave him a brown pearly eye on both sides. I think I'll probably remove the bow; I think it might just be overkill! I've put no greeting or sentiment on but that is easily remedied later.

Well that's it for me today. I'm going off to hop around your blogs now and see what you have been up to!

    Stunning work Christine, I really like the bow on it, it makes you feel you can pick your bird up in his cage and take him with you. I love it Hugs lin

    Hi Christine - I haven't seen this shape before and I lurve it!! My guess is you can do quite a lot with one of the blanks. I love your creation and the little birdie with two brown pearly eyes!! Hope they are level - lol!! This is beautiful.

    Hugs to you - Sue Pxxx
