Created Byhand - Looking In..Looking Out/Use Dies



I made this piece for the Created Byhand Challenge. I used TH Alterations-caged bird and Sizzix Swirly for my dies. I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder -organic flourish and some TH tissue tape. The background came from a piece of scrap paper from when I was painting a bird cage. The sentiment is TH. I was thinking about feeling caged in by all of the have to do and should do's of life. Thank you for looking!

  3. Love it that you added glue to the wrong side of your paper also for CCC6, but what I did not say was that I also added my piece!! Did not want to give away too much info! BTW - this piece here is totally to die for! Love it and I don't know what you used to emboss the cage, but it is wonderful! Love it!

  9. I never tire of seeing the bird and cage die - and I love what you've done with it. The background is great - I can just make out the bird cage shape - what a great idea to use it.
