This card was for the CAS31 Pop it Up challenge, but now I'm not sure if the patterned paper makes it look too busy. I'm just a bit enamored with PTI's green tea leaves paper paired with Clear Dollar Stamp's pretty perches--they just seem made for each other.
I stamped the bird in red chalk first (I can't seem to get a good image from these stamps using Memento or Palette, which is weird because the other set I have from them stamps beautifully), then stamped the birdcage over it. It was then cut out & popdotted (I added a little line through the loop so it looked like it was hanging from the flourish). I stamped the sentiment and cut the edge with Martha's cornice border punch. A target brad matched perfectly to complete the card.

Normally I would think that much patterned DP would look busy - but it doesn't on this card, it just makes the birdcage stand out and highlights it perfectly. Nice thank you card.
