Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop where we are sharing projects inspired by either s sketch or a colour combo.
Colours used in this project are:
To recreate the pretty birdcages card, you will need:
Night of Navy card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Flirty Flamingo card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside
Scrap Night of Navy & Basic White card
I stamped the beautiful birdcages across one of the Basic White panels using all of the colours specified. I started in the centre and masked off the stamped images before stamping the next so that they appeared in the background.

If the cages needed longer hanging chains, I inked up the chain, turned the stamp upside down and added length to the chain.

Using a Blending Brush, I added Flirty Flamingo ink around the edges of the panel to pull the design together. I glued the stamped layer to the Flirty Flaming panel and wrapped a length of Sweet Sorbet Metallic Ribbon around securing it on the back with Sellotape.

The whole panel was added to the Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The sentiment from the Beautifully Happy stamp set was stamped in Night of Navy ink onto scrap Basic White card and was then punched out using the Double Oval Punch. I punched a slightly larger scalloped oval using the same punch and scrap Night of Navy card. I glued the two together and added them to the card front on Dimensionals.

A ribbon bow and a trio of Festive Pearls completed the card.
