For the background, I stamped text in Versamark and applied clear EP on it. (My clear EP is getting a little dirty and probably needs to be replaced....) The edges of that panel are sponged in Creamy Caramel. The cage and bird were die-cut with cream paper. I applied some copper-colored ink directly on the cage, and added a brown ribbon on top. For the bird, I stamped a music score stamp in Creamy Caramel and a darker sepia and applied the sepia ink around the edges. I also stamped the two layers of white flowers with the musical score.
The card is for the following challenges:
Really Reasonable Ribbon #93, Monochromatic with Ribbon
Crafty Ribbons #85, anything goes with Ribbon
Feeling Sketchy #87, sketch
Simon Says Monday Challenge, Winged Things
Simon Says Wednesday Challenge, Animal Antics

Love the vintage look you gave this card with the colors and the distressing. Your rescue of the birdcage was a good call! Glad you shared it with us at the Sister Act Blog. Hugs, Cathyxx

ReplyDeleteI had to chuckle that you say it is just like Tim, except for he'd have more color. He does do that ultra pale from time to time throwing us for a loop. Great card!
