This card measures 6ins x 4ins and is made using a hand cut, white linen effect card.
Marc gave me a whole pile of these little bird cage charms and to my shame, until now, I haven’t really done much with them ….. they needed something else to set them off ….. and then I remembered the packs of blossom branch embellishments Dianne sent me from Michaels in the US ….. why didn’t I think of them before?
I coloured a scrap piece of Papermania book print paper with a powder blue Promarker for the background ……
…. and then simply added the two embellishments …. drawing a small thread from which to hang the cage. Done and dusted!

Really pretty card.
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely Helen. I keep thinking about using charms on my cards but when I see them, I can never think of how to use them. These bird cages are really sweet. I'll have to keep an eye open for some of these.Your branch idea is great and really sets them off.
