BBTB2 Birdhouse/Birdcage Challenge and Monthly Blog Hop

Another month gone...can you believe it?  It's the last Monday of the month so time for our monthly blog hop at BBTB2.  You should have arrived here from Maria's blog.  If not you'll want to start at the beginning on the BBTB2 blog here.  Our assignment this week was to use a birdcage or birdhouse.  I haven't used my French Manor cartridge very much so that's where I got my birdcage cut.  It's cut at 4" from brown cardstock and the dp is Heidi Grace.  My base card is A2 size cut from kraft cardstock.  I used a doily behind my birdcage because I like the intricate lacy look.  The strip of pink cardstock is punched with a Fiskar's punch.  Hello is cut (at 1") from my new Cindy Loo cartridge that I found on discount at a local store.  I made a ribbon rose to embellish the top of the birdcage then added some doodling with a white 3-D Sakura gel pen and a MS marker in Sepia. 

If my bird card doesn't get you in the mood for Spring, perhaps my blog candy will.  I've got an assortment of Spring embellishments and some pastel colored paper up for grabs.  Make sure you're a follower and leave a comment to be entered into the drawing.  I will draw my winner on Saturday, March 5th. 

Now you'll want to head over to Lori's blog.  Wait until you see her design.  It's super fantastic.  Have fun hopping, have a great week and thanks for stopping by.
