Birdcage and flower card

I finally used the Tim Holtz die I've been having since before Christmas. This is what I came up with:

 

 

I made the cloud background myself with a template I cut myself and two different shades of blue ink. I distressed the blue bird die cut with the darker of the two inks I used to make the clouds. And of course the little flower is quilled with a little button center.
