This is for FS226 and STAGCCVA aka Taylor is our featured artist today. Congratulations, Taylor!!! Your gallery was loads of fun to browse. Here is a link to Taylor's Birdcage Tag that inspired my project. Birdcage Tag by stagccva at Splitcoaststampers
I was inspired by Taylor's tag and birdcagethemed project. I kept the same tag and birdcage them but layered my tag onto a card front. I went with a vintage theme and changed up the color combination to a basic cream with gold embossing. I stamped the image on cream cardstock, embossed, cut out and then cut out the center bird portion of the image with a craft knife. I stamped a second image and popped it under the main birdcage image to show the bird inside the cage for a little bit of dimension. I cut a tag using my Nestabilities tag die and used my versa pen around the edge so I could gold emboss. I also used the versa pen to create an embossed edge around the background layer under the eyelet punched layer. The eyelet layer was cut out of a pretty embossed wedding envitation envelope that I received recently. I knew it would come in handy for a project. I punched several pieces of foliage and embossed the edges with gold and created a little arrangement to put under the birdcage. I attached all the foliage using Glossy Accents. I created a gold organdy multi loop bow for the top of the tag.
