Mary gave us a fun color combination this week, which works well for a card that I will need in a couple of weeks. Cut a deckled oval Nestie from Chocolate Chip CS, then shredded some more CC (yup, in my document shredder!). Wove the strips and some hemp twine into a nest. Stamped the eggs image from Nature Walk on Baja (no Pool Party yet!) and cut each out and glued in the nest. Cut the branch from Sizzix originals bare tree in CC and some Verve Elegant leaves in Wasabi. Ran a Wasabi card through CB EF and mounted all using dimensionals. Added the trunk cut from ruched CS from Paper Temptress. Stamped the WM sentiment in Wasabi, sponged and done. PT - 5
This card will be waiting for DS when he moves to Arkansas. Thank you so much for looking and have a peaceful day.

Now, come again on those instructions. Zee fruitcake got lost after the first detail. This is sooo creative Marzi and a very unique creation. Your son will love this when he gets to Arkansas. You win Ms. Originality today!

Oh, you know I love this card, Marie. I love the darling nest you made and the pretty eggs. What a fine tree, too. Your son will have this wonderful card to make him think of his mom...OFTEN.

Are you feeling like an empty nester? What a brilliant idea for your bird nest, and some mommy bird's gonna have her hands full when all those babies hatch! Sweet!
