Hello Birdies



Tosh has a great new sketch for this week's Viva la Verve Challenge! I also used 2 different EFs (Petals-a-Plenty by SU & CB's large dots) for Wendy's Free 4 All Challenge on SCS to "texturize it". I stamped the branch twice using Sage Shadow ink (an old but not forgotten SU color). I love my little $1 bin birdcage stamp from Mike's...stamped it in Chocolate Chip, sponged the edges slightly in Antique Linen distress ink, paper-pieced the lower portion of the cage (since it never inks up dark enough to my liking), added Stickles to the tiny hearts on the birds, & lastly added the heart bling. I "hung" the cage on the branch using chocolate baker's twine. Thanks for stopping by and commenting...I love reading your thoughts!

I'm about to commit hari-kari at not getting that stamp when I had it in my hand. Another darling card using it! Great use of Tosh's sketch too.
