Hi Everyone my DT card today is for
https://themaleroomchallengeblog.blogspot.com/
Now this was a challenge for me! I have lots of dies, as have we all? I went through them and saw a bird that I liked and hadn't used, so many haven't been used! Of course it had to be masculine, and I went through my pads of papers and found this vintage set. Which I felt had a masculine feel, I stamped the bird on part of the paper and layered it. I cut the paper out with a die, then used a digital die to cut the birdcage, adding some leaves after colouring part with a marker and then tying on the the stamped birthday wishes onto the cage. The bird's feet come as a separate die, so I stamped them onto the frame. It's a completely different card to any I have made in the past, with the colours and using so many dies.

This turned out really nicely, Faith. I really like the sweet bird. Great use of dies! - Charlotte/Lady Joyful
It's a great use of dies and so contemporary with the large background pattern.
Absolutely gorgeous Faith, beautifully designed with this pretty die and your choice of papers is lovely, Kate x
Beautiful card you did a great job!!!
This is so pretty Faith! What a beautiful background paper with the cage and flourish dies. Love the pop of color of the bird!
Oh your mojo is back better than ever. Your colour choice works so well together and I love all the layers. Beautiful card. xx
Love this card, Faith. Great paper and you know I love birdcages too.
Sweet bird
Fabulous layering of the dies Faith and I love how you did the cage from a digital cut die too. The design layout looks wonderful and perfectly masculine and a great collection of dies on your card Faith x.
What a great card Faith. Love the diecuts and the layout you have used.
I love this card Faith! The papers you used are fabulous, loving the bird, cage and leaves too. Yes, I have many dies and stamps as well that haven't seen any love yet. So sad, but true! Glad to see you giving some of yours some love. I think this card is a great masculine card, but see it working for a female too! Hugs, Brenda
wonderful masculine card, faith!
Lovely design Faith, love how you have used the papers xx
So good.
Loving all the subtle colours on this beautiful card Faith and I have always really liked the idea of a bird OUTSIDE a cage - the symbol of liberty! Your bird is a proper cutie and I love his little stamped feet :) Funnily enough, I don't have many dies. I have a tiny tin of them - so few I haven't even had to organise them! Take care, Vicky x
I think this turned out so nice, it can be used for either a masculine or feminine card! I love all the branches on top of the cage while the bird is just hanging around on the edge! Very pretty card!
So pretty and I like that bird in pink. My favorite color.
Beautiful card and B.paper-love the dies and the little bird -beautiful muted colours-I have been sorting unused dies out too using them and deciding whether to keep or declutter!
