TCM BeautyFull Birthday

This post is prescheduled as I have just had my second eye surgery and computer time is limited for a little while - but you have to love prescheduling!!
I wanted to take this opportunity to show you this card I have created using a stamp set illustrated by Nina Brackett for The Crafts Meow.

 The set is called 'Fly Free' - how gorgeous is it!?!?


I have embossed the birdcage and sentiment with Stampin' Up Gold Embossing Powder


Cutting them out using my Spellbinders Grand Calibur and the Labels 17 Nestibilities


I created a vintage flower using a page from and old book and some circle punches, sponging them with distressing ink, scrunching and securing them with a gold button


Adding some pleated paper, left over from the edges of the book and adding some hand made pearl swirls - pearls are always lovely with vintage - in my opinion!

This card is for the following challenges:
Clearly Inspired - Distressing
Guylou's Iniminibility - Monochromatic
Poodles Parlour - Anything Goes
Stamp Something - Punch Something
Totally Papercrafts - Summer
4 Crafty Chicks - Handmade Flowers
Do you Stack Up - Birthday
Paper Pals Arts - Your Signature Style
Paper Crafting Journey - Bird Related
Shelleys Images - Anything Goes
I am loving the images from The Craft's Meow and I have more to show you as I was very busy before my surgery - I will be back with more.

*** I am just popping in to say thank you to everyone that has been praying for me and showing usch support!  My surgery has gone beautifully and I will be back onboard after a bit of a rest - only little bursts on the computer in the meantime - but I have posts that will be scheduled in the meantime!  Thank you so much for all of the lurrrrvvve!! ***

Thank you for looking and for your lovely comments - you always make my day.  I do appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment - thank you!  God bless you!
