Hi crafters! I started this colourful card using a piece of white card as my background. I cut the
Bird Cage die in black four times. I cut the Bird Cage in half, then took off the sides. I put the same two pieces back together to create this new shaped birdcage. I kept the lattice pieces from all four bird cages to make the borders on the top and bottom of the card. I used the greenery from the
Hummingbird and Toucan sets to add to the borders. I cut the flowers in yellow, orange and ink and added them to the greenery. I cut a
Parrot out of white card. I used
Distress Markers to colour the parrot and then added him into the bird cage before gluing it to the centre of the card. I used the Flying By To Say Hello sentiment cut in black and used above and below the focal element. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8" x 9 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue Very pretty card with the beautiful parrot and pretty little flowers
Hi Sue, I loved this card on launch and I still love it and feel that I am in a tropical oasis. The cutting of the birdcage to create a different shape and the use of the offcuts as trellis which you have decorated with brightly coloured flowers and greenery is ingenious. I wish I could look at dies and see what you do, I always need you to point me in the right direction.
Steph - missing you and hope that you are ok.
