I made this card from stuff that was just hanging around my desk. The stencilled panel has been lying around since I did the Stencilled online class, the leaves are spares from a card I made in January, and the birdcage has been in my stash for too long.
I coloured the kraft birdcage and heart with a gold brush pen, sponged Bundled Sage Distress Ink onto the stencilled panel, stamped a sentiment banner, then put it all together with the help of a pearl and some wire.
I'm entering it into the following challenges:
Just Add Ink colour challenge:

Stamps: Paper Smooches Reflections, Stamping Bella Happy Anniversary
ETA: At Kimberly's suggestion, I'm also entering it into Unscripted Sketches
