I got inspiration from MaryR917 with her color challenge card using the May Paper Pumpkin kit. I have been wanting to place a bird on the nest and finally remembered the bird in A Touch of Nature so I stamped it using Memento ink. I colored the leaves, bird eggs, a few places that could be flowers with the colors from the challenge using SU markers. Thanks for the inspiration, Mary, to try an alternative idea.

You did a great job on this card, and you have inspired me, as did Mary. I have been trying to figure out how to make bigger cards from these small card fronts. I love the addition of the mama bird on the nest. Love this!

I thought your card looked like Mary's. I like the way you added the bird sitting on the eggs, and you made your flowers a shade or two lighter. It sure is the time for birds to lay their eggs. I have a Robin's eggs in my maple.

The bird from that old set worked perfectly! Pretty card.

This is a sweet card- I love the addition of the bird but I didn’T have a bird image small enough- the one you used worked great- thanks for playing along with us this week- you should add MPP and Paper Pumpkin to your keywords so it shows up in that gallery as well
