Shabby Love Birds

Last night was craft night with the girls and this week, after tea and chocolate macaroons, we all has a good goss.  In fact I was the only one to make anything!  A couple of the girls had some big news, some good, some bad, so we put the world to rights over copious quantities of tea.  I crafted while a chatted and made this shabby bird cage card.

I covered the shaped blank with Bohemian paper (I can't get enough of this range at the moment in case you hadn't noticed!), glittered on the inside and plain patterned on the outside, all from Craftwork Cards, and inked the edges with Pumice Stone Distress Ink.  I then added clear micro beads to the heart shape and a gem topped lace bow to the top.
The birds were kraft die cuts, again from Craftwork Cards, which I covered with patterned paper, inked with Dusty Concord Distress Ink and sprayed with Cosmic Shimmer mica spray.  I gave them pink feather wings embellished with tiny gems and some pearls for eyes.
The flowers are die cuts from the same range and were inked with more Dusty Concord, crimped and layered up.  The leaves were made with a Woodware Punch.
Some Card Candi and tiny lilac pearls are the finishing touches.
