Beautiful Birdcage........

When I saw this birdcage I knew that I could turn it into a shaped card. Unfortunately the cut doesn't have a shadow (to be able to create the base with) so after cutting out the cage and it's layer, I just placed it onto the front of a C5 card and drew around it leaving a border of approximately 1cm. I then adhered some lovely sage green backing paper from Papermania to the card front, cutting away the excess. The cage was made up by adhering the top layer to the base layer with foam pads. I then adhered the cage to the card front. The cage was decorated with a Cheery Lyn die flourish, WOC blooms and a butterfly cut from pink glittercard. A claret coloured sheer bow, computer-generated sentiment and a smattering of pearls completes the card.
