"Hope Happens" shaped card

Okay, here I am again with the shaped cards!!
 I know... I promise I'll get over it soon!!

 Here's the story of this card.  I knew I wanted to make a bird cage card for the challenge over at Bitten by the Bug 2 (use a bird house or bird cage).  And then I spotted Robyn, The Pink Stamper's challenge (bird) and it all just came together.

This little birdy is sitting in her cage dreaming of the great outdoors, freedom, spreading her wings and flying.  She closes her eyes and hopes that one day she can leave her little cramped cage and fly free.

See, she was hoping hard enough her cage opened up

and she found herself outside on her very own branch.

Here she is enjoying her freedom... cage free! :)

"So Happy for you!" is also from Scrappy Moms Stamps.

The "Hope happens!" stamp is from Scrappy Moms Stamps.

I inked the edges of the bird.

I added lots of little details like the rhinestones all over the outside

of the cage and a sheer pink ribbon tied into a bow.

The bird cage card body was made on my Gypsy, welded together in three parts. I hid the contours on two of the cages (to make them like a blackout feature).  

All cuts were from the Serenade Cricut Cartridge.

All the pattern paper is from Heidi Grace Designs.
