The Bird and the Cage.

Today is the 17th of June and it's the Blog Party at Waltzingmouse. I made a card with the Asian Gardens stamp set. I first made a turquoise and grey background and then stitched the edges. I made a frame with the Spellbinders Labels Twenty die. I cut all the flowers, the bird and the birdcage by hand and put them on foam tape to give them a 3D effect. The sentiment is also put on foam tape so I still can change it if needed. I also added a little tag with some orange twine. The heart is from the Make Your Mark stamp set. I just put some gems on the flowers and the cage and here is the card:
