Birthday birds

 I thought this cute bird watching over her eggs getting ready to come into the world would be a cute image for a bird loving birthday card.  I went with stamping in muted tones for the bird and eggs, and the rest of the card showing fall colors.


The nest, bird and eggs are all separate stamps and they all have matching dies in this set to cut them out. I gave the birds a bit of speckled dots to match Momma. The inner framing was from the paper pack and I cut the outside frame with a die, adding a few flowers to the corners with some added bling.


Hero Arts - Chrip stamp & dies, colored w/markers
Bobunny - Beautiful Brisk papers
Spellbinders - Candlewick rectangles and Lacey oval dies
Prima flowers
Gems


We are in the thick of fall weather, even below our normal temperatures.  So good to be able to get yard work done when it isn't so hot. Still praying for those out west who have lost their homes and are dealing with all the fire and smoke.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Connie

Very nice card.

We had a lot of rain over the weekend, I just wish I could have sent it over to help put the fires out.

All the best Jan
