I am back to my bird theme today. I made a bunch of Bird cage cards over the weekend. One set is in peach and mustard. The second set is in reds. The red cards are RAK cards. The peach cards will also be sent out to friends. Take a look at the Peachy cards:
Stamps: The bird cage- Inkadinkado; Flower-SU; Friend - My Sentiments Exactly
DP: TPC and K and Company
CS: Bazzill
The embellish is hand made with a metal tag and punched circles. I tried to make a faux gold leaf effect by stamping with pigment ink and brushing on Perfect Pearls. You can see this in the photo below.
Challenges for Peach Bird Cage:
Sentemental Sundays: Add a Tag
Craftalicious Challenges: Anything Goes
Cute Card Thursday: Make your own Embellishment- tag
Incy Wincy Designs: Faux Anything - Faux Gold Leaf
Simon Says Stamp and Show: Use Metal-Tag with metal rim.
The Crafty Pad: Friends
Totally Gorjuss: Not a Square - I used rectangles and circles

Stamptacular Sunday: buttons, flower, word friends or friendship
Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge: Distressing
If the Shoe Fits Scrap It: Distressing
Flourishes: ink and edge distressing
And here is a second card:
Here are the red versions:
Well, there are lots of photos, but isn't fun to see how many different cards you can make with the same stamp? Have a good day.
