Birdcage Thinking of You Card

Created this Birdcage Thinking of You Card in my fav shades of blue.

Used Sizzix Tim Holtz Caged Bird die.

Used Tim Holtz core'dinations pine needle cardstock for base. I really like the blue green look to this cardstock and how it complemented the Tim Holtz Paper Stash Vintage Shabby paper layer. For the Bird I used core'dinations broken china and some scraps of music scrapbook paper. Used core'dinations black soot for the Bird Cage.

Used Tim Holtz sander on the Bird Cage.

Used Tim Holtz Distress Inks on the Bird.

Used a small music note punch that I have had for long time.
 
Sentiment tag is from new Spellbinder Shape Back to Basics Tags that I bought this week.

Stamped sentiment "Life is like a song" and stamped music notes are from a Papertrey Ink stamp set Birds of a Feather.

Used a gold mini brad & blue gems for embellishing.

Used some white music note ribbon that I colored with TH Distress Ink peacock feathers.
