Bird Day Card and a Feather



I'm trying to fatten up my Birthday Card supply.


I thought this would be a fun bird themed card~







I used the vibrant colors from the
Colour Q Challenge #172.





My gray isn't as dark as the inspirational photo...it's a tannish gray from the Carefree collection of Authentique.


I overlapped my bird cages...which was fun, considering I can't pick which cage I like the best~so I've included them all!


I took my inspiration from Case Study Challenge #124,

where Amber overlapped the bottles.





Finally, this lovely sketch was designed by Nina at The Craft's Meow.

The Craft's Meow January Sketch Challenge







I hope you are having a beautiful Monday~
