Live & Love Crafts is hosting a Things with Wings challenge for September. The design team has made some pretty fabulous cards for inspiration. I made mine a little over the top. I started with Tim Holtz paper for my background and then added vintage nest and bird pictures. Vintage lace was a must for this one. I punched a lace strip with a Martha Stewart punch for the bottom and added an inked doily at the top. I embossed grunge board filigrees with embossing enamel from Stampendous. The feathers are real ones from our Guineas. I painted the birdcage to soften and age it a little. I embellished with pearl gems, flowers and an embossed metal filigree from our store, Dry Gulch. It was a lot of fun to make such an extravagant card.
What a lovely piece you created for the Things with Wings challenge!
