A quickie

Here's a quick card for an old codger (like me :-).

"Birds"

I love this 7Gypsies stamp set and just fancied using ALL the stamps at once! The birdcage was partially embossed with some brown embossing powder after distressing in blue, then shaped and adhered to the card with Pinflair with the diecut bird underneath. One panel was stamped in archival cobalt over a light brown inked cardstock, and the other with sepia archival over a blue inked cardstock. The background is cut from a sheet of my precious Tim Holtz paper, and a length of blue organza ribbon tied around the card beneath the top panel. All the layers were matted with the same dark brown card.

Ingredients:
7Gypsies stamp set "Conservatory"
Tim Holtz paper pad "Lost and Found"
Spellbinders die birdcage & bird
Distress Ink Pads: Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Chipped Sapphire, Antique Linen, Walnut Stain
Archival Ink Pads: Cobalt, Sepia
blue organza ribbon
cardstock: white 300gsm card blank, dark brown 200 gsm
