Hello and welcome!  Karen Brown here and I have a very fun project to share with you today featuring this delightful Vintage Birdcage die. I love color and texture and I used lots of both on this card.

Here is my recipe:

• I started with my background.  Using Embossing and Watermark Ink and Clear Embossing Powder I heat embossed the Ode To Andy Warhol Script Bold Print onto Luxe Watercolor Paper.
• Now the fun part, I ink blended a rainbow of color across my background panel.  Blending at an angle, I started at the top with Fresh Lawn Core Ink and then proceeded with Splash Reactive Ink, Indigo Core Ink, Amethyst Core Ink, Pale Tomato Core Ink, Tangerine Core Ink and Lemon Drop Reactive Ink.  I  really love these colors!
• I buffed the embossed script with a microfiber cloth so the embossing was ink free.
• I die cut the birdcage 3 times. Twice from Deluxe Smooth Cardstock and once from White Glitter Cardstock.  This white is my absolute favorite glitter cardstock.  It is hard to photograph but is so beautiful in person. I also cut 2 birds and 4 hearts from glitter cardstock. 
• Using a Rounded Rectangle Infinity die, I cut down my background to 3 3/4″ wide.  I added some craft foam to the back and popped it on an A2 Top Fold Card Base.
• Using Precision Glue, I stacked my birdcages with the Glitter Cardstock on the top layer.  
• Message Strips Stamp and Cut XL is my most used sentiment stamp set and I thought “hello there” was perfect for this card.
• I assembled my card with Precision Glue and was done.

I thought the supplies were so pretty sitting on my art desk, so I took an additional photo of most of the supplies I used.

This card was to fun for me to make and I am so happy that you stopped by!
