Hello lovely friends :)
 
These must be the worst photo's I've ever taken of a card and unfortunately I can't try again as it was collected on Friday for the wedding on Saturday.
This must also be a record  for the time it has taken to do this blog  post.....this computer is ancient and is driving be bonkers !!

The brief for this card was cream, silver, a touch of purple with a birdcage theme so out came this super die cut from the lovely Sarah at Craft all Day.   I used a silver dabber on it which gave it a nice rustic look.

The main BP has a pretty flowery, slightly embossed design on it.  I made the flowers from this too.
The torn panel is embossed with an M-Bossabilities folder.
The bird and cage, topped with a cream seam binding double bow and heart shaped button are layered  on to muslin



It took three goes to make the envelope, lol.  
I didn't want more ribbon as a pull for the message so I 'sparkled up' a heart and added a small gem instead. I used stickles Diamond  and it shows pink here :/



The flower 'arrangements' are a mix of Marianne Creatables dies and flowers from stash

I'm still on the mission to use my stash and I came across this bird and cage paper - just the job for a BG for this lovely Birdcage image from Nana Vic's Digitals, one of the images supplied for round #16 of the progressive challenge on CDAC

I printed it on to a piece of Moments in Time paper, matted on silver mirri and coloured with copics.
I based the design on a challenge sketch  but it is not near enough to enter.
I coloured a white flower with copics to match the image flowers.

Liz at Pink Petticoat bought the Slice and doesn't get on with it so is giving it away.
How generous is that!!
This is my entry in an attempt to win it.
One of the cards for the Slice cuts flourishes, I so could have done with that facility today haha.





I used the Too Tweet download and small flowers BP from PP. Took ages to cut out the flourish! but got there in the end. I added some feathers and a pink organza bow.
I'm not holding my breath with this as an entry but I really enjoyed making it



Thanks for looking today and for any comments you care to make
