A little birdie card with a Tim Holtz bird and bird cage with a little tag
These little birdie cards are always handy in that they can cover so many occasions!! I have made these quite a few times using this sketch. Made up these card kits for my May Cardmaking Class. The birdcage and bird & wing (TH) were die cut in different colours. I added a tiny black brad to the bird for his eye and add the beak detail with a marker before watercolouring in some detail. I mounted the bird behind the bird cage and added the embossed wing on the outside. I added the top thread before mounting it to the background paper. I added the little tag to the thread and then glued the thread to the back using double sided tape. I then mounted this large element to a dark brown card front. I added rhinestones into the holes at the bottom which was backed with double sided tape when I adhered the bird cage to the decorative paper. I mounted the tag with 3D foam tape to finish off this card. Another one for the stash!! Therese
