Freshly Made Sketches #628 and The Card Concept #205

Hey there friends.  I'm so glad you dropped by.

It took two challenges to inspire my card today.  Freshly Made Sketches and The Card Concept.


The design came from the sketch and the bluebird came from the photo.  I played with the Winter Birds set from Honey Bee, turning the chickadee into a bluebird.  She needed a place to roost so I pulled out the birdhouse from WPlus9, cutting it from grays and embossing with Altenew's Window Slats folder.  It's perfect to make it look like it was built from wood.  A little greenery from Honey Bee and soft inking of the background finished it off. 

I had a number of bluebirds at my meal worm feeder a few weeks ago.  It was such a thrill but sadly they haven't been back.

No bluebirds for us, just Robins and sparrows right now. I like the house you gave this little fella to roost in! Cute card, Bobby!

A beautiful card Bobby and now I must hunt out that Altenew folder - it does look just like siding! Hopefully the bluebirds will be back in your garden soon. Thanks for joining us again at The Card Concept.
