A bird for Sparkles

Hi everyone, there's a new challenge over at Sparkles Monthly Challenges. This month we'd love to see a bird on your creation. Here's mine...






I used some papers which came free with a magazine last year sometime. They're called spring jubilee by Pink Paislee. I cut out the bird and the butterflies from a second sheet and decoupaged it. The die cut bird cage started out white (part of my goody bag from the Summer Crafting workshop last year). It's been coloured with copics, stamped with versamark, embossed with white detail powder and then been distressed with Frayed burlap, as has the rest of the card. I've stamped a sentiment in cocoa momento and finished off with a few flowers and bits from my stash.

I would like to enter this for Use it Tuesday's challenge - die cuts, punches and cut outs.
 
Thanks for visiting. I hope you'll go take a look at the challenge...we can't wait to see your projects.

See you soon. Happy crafting
Helen xx
