Happy Bird Day?

 Firstly, apologies for the corny title!

It's my day off and it's pouring with rain outside. Got a new cricut cartridge to play with so thought I'd take advantage of this typical English weather and do some crafting!


Patterned paper is  from K&Company. I really love the papers in this collection, the colours are muted and have a vintage feel and the distressed floral patterns are perfect to co-ordinate with the beautiful images on this cartridge.


 I've cut the flourish and the birds out of white paper and coloured them with blue pencil and added tiny gems for the birds' eyes. I 'cut' the birdcage with a greyish brown cricut marker before actually cutting it out and added a few white pearls.


It's hard to see from the pictures, but I curled the birdcage a little to make it pop up and added 3D foam pads in the centre to make it hold its rounded position.

Supplies:
  • Cricut cartridge - Serenade
  • Cricut marker pen
  • Gems and pearls
  • Patterned paper
  • White paper and card
  • 4" x 4" card blank
 
Thanks for stopping by...
