Secret Garden Birthday

Good morning everyone, thanks for stopping by. Today I have a card to show that I made for a crafty friend for her birthday. I was very brave and cut up some more Graphic 45 papers.

I started by inking the edges of an 8"x 8" scalloped card blank with DI Spun Sugar. Then I matted and layered two papers  from The Secret Garden 12"x 12" pad after scruffing the edges. I added an inked doily and a length of lace.

I chose this bird topper as I know my friend likes birds. I mounted it onto plain card and added a bird embellishment and some faux pearls.

I stamped the sentiment and die-cut three feathers. To finish the card I tied a triple bow and added a bird cage charm.

This was another card that I thought twice about sending. Maybe I should start making two identical Graphic 45 cards so I have one to keep?

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:
