Hi!
Happy Wednesday! My card today is for today's sketch challenge at SCS.
The base of this card is Select White with a mat of True Black. All of the decorative paper is from Bo Bunny's Crush Collection. The strip across the top is True Black cardstock which I punched the top of using my Fiskars Apron border punch. I then added a strip of patterned paper and then black twill ribbon from May Arts. The birdcage is chipboard and is by Maya Road. I first painted it black and then added black glitter from Pink Paislee using a paintbrush and Elmer's Glue. The birds, that look a little like seagulls, were punched from Select White CS using my Martha Stewart Sparrow punch. The sparrows had legs when I punched them but I cut them off and added eyes with a black marker since they didn't have eyes!!! lolol The heart was punched from red glitter paper using my Martha Stewart heart confetti punch. I first glued the cage down on the heart panel and then tied the bow using white floss and silver cord.
Here is a closer look ~
So what do you think about those seagulls???? I mean LOVE BIRDS?????? hahaha Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have had a great day!

This is GORGEOUS Lynda! I LOVE that sparkly black birdcage (and I love that you have the birds outside the cage instead of inside of it). Cheers!
