Tweet, Tweet, Happy Birthday Momma

The gals over at Totally PaperCrafts have issued  a different challenge this week.  They don't want to see any Christmas cards.  Do we still remember how to made a card that is not for Christmas?  LOL, well it made me really clear my muddled brain.

Our challenge this week is sponsored by Mel Jens and I just think their images are too cute.  I chose this Victorian Birdcage which you can get here.  I loved the curving lines and that cute little singing bird.  I had this paper in my stash from a couple of years ago.  I bought it at Artful Legacy and it was a "have to have".  Well I guess it must have been real special, because I wouldn't even use it.  LOL.  I did a tiny amount of coloring using Copics  RV0000; R00 and R20.  Then I outlined the die cut and the lines in the image with a Sakura Clear Star Jelly roll pen.  My flowers are Recollections and the popped up birdcage at the right is cut out of the same paper with a white satin ribbon as a hanger.  The lattice punch and leaf puch are MS and the ribbon border punch is from SU.

So wipe the Christmas mojo out of your mind and whip up a non-Christmas creation for us.  There may be a wonderful prize from MelJens for you. Melissa is generously giving 4 stamps of the winner's choice for the lucky winner.  Now hop on over to our blog and see all the lovely creations our oh so talented DT has to inspire you today.
