Hello everyone....I finally got my card made for today's Free 4 All challenge on Splitcoast...Jeanne wanted us to make a card or project that was someone's home....the home could belong to a bird, person, dog, etc.

I used the Woodware set called Birdsong...stamped the cage with Tangerine Tango three times onto the Memory Box dp called Brioche. One of the cages was cutout and popped up and then the top from the third one was cutout and popped up. The birds were stamped on a scrap of Daisy D's dp, cutout and popped up on the branch and birdcage. The seam binding, button, and twine finish it off. This is also for the Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger using the picture above as inspiration. I used the colors and wrinkled effect as my inspiration...tooo fun!!!

Recipe: Stamps: Woodware Birdsong, Paper: White, Tangerine Tango, Memory Box dp called Brioche, Ink: Tangerine Tango, Memento Rich Cocoa, Accessories: Button, Twine, Seam Binding


Thanks for stopping by this afternoon....I'm off to go feed two hungry horses!!
