Play Date Cafe Challenge #43 has these wonderful cool, refreshing colors--so perfect for an end of summer card. If you have an August birthday, a soothing card is definitely in order! This is for my step daughter. Click on photo twice to enlarge so the detail will show up. I was having a little trouble with taking the photos. I was looking around for a sketch idea and found this fun and new (to me) blog, Card Patterns. There is a new sketch each week and I look forward to visiting again.
The main image is a bird cage stamp by Kaiser Craft. I stamped it with Colorbox Metallic ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. The lime layer is cut with the largest Spellbinders Labels 11 and embossed with a Quikutz embossing folder. The patterned papers are geometric to help keep a clean look. I also inked the ribbon with a light color Copic--something I had never tried before but it is very easy and I like the effect. A few rhinestones were added for glimmer!

This is so pretty! I love the birds and birdcage, and the beautiful colors!
Beautiful, Sharron. I love the detail and texture. The colors are lovely. It reminds me of an antique one we found recently. No birds in my home, just an old cage. Love your work!
Beautiful BD card, love the birdcage image. Thanks for playing at the PDCC.
That's really petty Sharron! I'm sure your step daughter will love it, the color so cool and soothing, especially considering the heat we've had! I like the slight touch of graphic paper.
