Happy Blue Bird

We have some bluebirds nesting in one of our bird boxes and I love to see them flying back and forth as they catch insects to feed the chicks.  This card was inspired by all the bird activity this week.  It's a big image to fit on a card with other things, but I found this green newsprint Bo Bunny paper that had an image of a flower made out of type, so I  accented that by making a flower free hand and putting it over the print image.  A little washi tape and twine finshed it off.  This card makes me happy!

It's going in The Moxie Fab World Love Card Challenge, Lawnscaping Challenge: Use Dimension, CAS-ual Friday: Text Me, and Twinkle, Twinkle The Colors of Summer -Wild and Reckless Sherbert.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
