IC580 - Inspired by Swallows in a Cage

Photo Details

Poster: MelodyGal

I made this card for the IC580 Altered Diaries challenge. I love this site. I got my inspiration from the Birdcage-Swallows.

It took me practically all day to make this card since I kept changing direction after mishap after mishap. I finally decided to use some patterned paper that I had on hand. I almost threw it out a couple of days ago because I wasnt using it. Good thing I kept it.

The paper is the perfect compliment for the lovely bird. The dark bg makes everything pop. TFS
