Smile... I am in the mood to make cards and have been doing so ...so that I have some in my stash for when the occasion arises.
Here is another one of those and I am loving the grungy look given by the card board but it is not too much which does not detract from the sophistication of the card either ( an I get to smudge and play too LOL)
A piece of complimenting background paper was cut distressed and placed on the main card. Two more pieces of card where then cut and used as the base for the decoration.
A piece of cardboard was ripped and smudged with white gesso. The gesso cardboard was placed in the centre of the card and the birdcage was cut out using a Couture Creations dye called "Endless dreams -Birdcage" was placed on top.The swallow was cut using a Cricut cartridge from my supply and placed off centre to the base of the birdcage.
The sentiment from a Pink Paislee stamp set called Spring Jubilee and Glitz "Vintage Blue" was stamped onto card, which was inked to match the grunge look . Gems were placed on the sides of the card, birdcage and swallow to add a touch of pretty .
A flower from my stash was placed by the birdcage. Before attaching everything to the card string was wrapped around the card and tied in a bow on the side.
A doily cut from a Cricut cartridge was sprayed with Adirondack Colour wash "Meadow" and "Sailboat Blue" These were placed under the top layers of the card.
