...why bird cages and bird houses call to our hearts???
Is it the romantic notion of the bird being caged, then being set free? Or the thought of the bird fleeing, then returning home?
Whatever it is that pulls at my heartstrings, I saw this image from Hero Arts and it called to me - and I know, you know, *exactly* what I mean!
Stampin' Treasures carries Hero Arts stamps and more, and are a Hero Arts premier store. Plus they ship extra f-a-s-t and very reasonable shipping. Love that!
EK success paper layered onto Begonia (Memory Box) cardstock. Faux bow from brown velvet ribbon (learned from Nichole Heady's faux bow tutorial). Stamped birdcage with Distress Embossing Ink (or similar watermark pad) onto white cardstock; sprinkled clear embossing powder and heat set. Rubbed a Distress Tattered Rose pad all over the embossed image then cut out.
Birdcage is mounted with foam dimensionals. Hero Arts sentiment is stamped in Adirondack Espresso. Black wire adds more dimension to this subtle happy card.
Interior sentiment is also Hero Arts.
Hope you have a great week and thank you for stopping by!
