Speedy the Cat has been up all night chattering at the window. At about 3AM, I decided to go OUTSIDE and find out what was going on. I saw the problem! "Our" pair of Cardinals were building a nest in our Spruce tree, AT NIGHT! This is not their normal behavior, and it really has Speedy the Cat upset! I think he is worried about his feathered friends!
Participants were to change AT LEAST 2 things.
I changed:
Stamp set...(but I used a bird!)
Color Combo...(Well, I added Sage Shadow, and DID NOT make a Cardinal!LOL!)
Sentiment treatment...(I don't have those VERY COOL letters!)
I added:
Prima arrangement
dots
I colored the bird with SU! markers and used an aqua painter to blend the colors. I cut out the bird and adhered it to the Nesties circles. The filigree frame is a Sizzix Die Cut.

Stunning Faith. Love the colors of your birdie, and all your details around the flower. Sorry Speedy got you up in the middle of the night! I have had our puppy sleeping with my the last 2 nights, as my daughter is out this weekend.
