This challenge made me think a lot harder than I'm probably capable of in the morning. I'm sooooo not a morning person...I'm barely capable of speech when I first get up. Anyway, here's my (slightly lame) list:
J- just a bird, I named Jill (my bird, I get to name it)
U- geez, I had something, but I totally lost it
N- no nest, it's on another card
E- even number of squares
Told you it was lame! Believe me, I'll be totally sharp & witty tonight... I can rock 9:00pm like nobody's business!
The tiles were cut outs from a window die I used on another card. I put temporary tape on the backs, pushed them close together to stamp the image then attached them to a second set of cut outs, colored them & attached them to a white panel. The greeting strip was a leftover & I liked the shape so I stamped the words on it & edged it w/ a yellow Copic. The same yellow Copic was used to make the yellow layers. I didnÂ’t have any plain yellow this color so I went around the edges of white panels w/ the Copic. A few more layers of dp & a few tiny white buttons finish it.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups & Copic colors are on my blog: The Write Stuff

So beautiful, Julie, and such a fun use of your letters. Like you, I'm no morning person..just don't even speak to me in the morning because I can hardly get a word out.

Oh Julie, this is a fantastic card. I just love blue and yellow. It feels like I am looking out someone's kitchen window. Your receipe is too funny. I have been so busy helping my sister move into an assisted living facility and have missed the gallery terribly. After I finish helping her I am going to have to spend some serious time in your gallery. I will probably fill my whole pinterest page with your cards.

I have been side tracked from going further in the gallery - I just love this. I love anything with birds, and I love birdbaths, I used to have one outside my bedroom window when in my house, loved watching them play in it in the morning. This is beautiful Julie, I just love everything about it. tfs

You are so funny! Really? Jill? Made me giggle!
Mentally I was trying to come up with four ideas (to be put to paper later) and it is a challenge, so I think you did admirably with this delightful card! TFS!
