A Little Birdie Told Me

Hey, everyone, I wanted to tell you how I did this birdcage today. First, I cut the Die-namics Contempo Cage and Stamp Set birdcage from one of these chipboard coasters and then proceeded to paint it up. First I covered it with Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabber – Butterscotch, then I swiped it with Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabber – Espresso for a sort of woodgrain look. I did the same with the Die-namics Branch With Leaves die cut, only I used Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabber – Mushroom, THEN the Espresso.

My patterned paper is from Echo Park’s Everyday Eclectic paper pad and the ribbon is more of my Tim Holtz - Idea-ology - Crinkle Ribbon 10 Yards that I colored with Tim Holtz Distress Ink Reinkers - Barn Door. I used foam tape to pop up the elements and Mono Adhesive Tape Runner – Permanent for adhering layers. The sentiment was stamped on a Die-namics First Place Award Ribbon flag.

Here’s the inside with another sentiment from the set:

Here are the Die-namics dies I used on this card:

And that’s all I have for you today! Thanks so much for stopping by!
