Meadowlark and Grape

My -not so- traditional card celebrates the -to be wedded- couple's home state of Oregon. The state bird and flower image was googled. I printed the image onto card stock twice; one for the background and one for the  die cut bird cage.  The cage is lined up over the second image and popped up. It gives a wonderful 3D action. I also added some handmade flowers and die cut leaves.

Bridal Shower Favor Boxes

I’ve made 40 bridal shower favor boxes in lavender and white for a friend and thought that one birdcage favor box would go along with the heart closure boxes nicely.

I used Sizzix Pro die “box/heart closure” and Tim Holtz Caged Bird. I trimmed the heart box at the top so that the cage would fit. Tim Holtz/Sizzix tattered pinecone makes a mighty fine rose. The sentiment is from Verve.
