This card's concept is inspired by the CASology week 50 - cue card - FREE and the colors by Dynamic duos #58 - Monochromatic Deep oranges and since its a one layer CAS card, I'll play it for CAS on Sunday #11 - ONE LAYER WONDER too :)
I love combining challenges ;)

I wanted to make a card with bird cage and a bird, I had this beautiful stamp from Prima - Printery collections with the cage but I decided not to use it because the cage was too small for me to cut out through the cage. So, as always I hand drew my cage and used my Exacto knife to cut out the white space on the cage to give it a more realistic feel. The birds are stamped and is from same Prima stamps set. The light inking was done using a sponge and memento dew drop ink :)
Earlier, I have made another card using Exacto knife which you can find here and this can be called as a sequel ;) Also, here below is the image of my bird cage - work-in-progress
The challenges are -
