For this challenge I chose to use an older stamp set that I won in a Mod Squad challenge a long time ago. It is by Inspired by Stamping and is called Sweet Aviary. As well I used a bird from a set called Birdhouses by the Cats Pajama’s and the sentiment is from Joy Clair. The gold CS is from my stash and the border die is a Gemini one, called blossoming borders. Initially I had a different idea, but the border piece was already cut and was laying on the gold CS so I decided to use them and my idea morphed. Once I had stamped, heat embossed and fussy cut the cages I laid them as you see on the card and with some foam tape on the top 2, glued them down. I stamped the little bird and die cut him twice so I could glue the two together for extra stability and then I added him to the card front. After adding a few of my new gems that I received from Trinity stamps I called it complete. Have a great day all.
Lovely card! I really like the birdhouses with the bird peeking in.

Thanks Gayle. I had seen a card a while ago that stacked some bird cages and I thought it was a good idea at the time. Obviously it stayed in my memory and I used it here.
