Vintage Handmade Card with a Bird and Quilling Cage | Scrapbooking


Today I'm sharing another handmade card, featuring a little bird that has escaped from its cage.

I wanted to create something light and slightly vintage, so I used papers in soft, muted colours and added a few distressed details. The edges were inked and distressed, with machine stitching and cotton lace adding a cosy handmade feel.

The birdcage is made entirely from paper using the quilling technique. I really enjoyed creating this delicate little detail and making the bird look as if it had just flown out of the cage.

The bird was stamped, distressed and coloured to match the rest of the card. I also added a little sparkle to the branch for a subtle finishing touch.
