This card took me so long that halfway through it, it became Saturday! I had no idea what to colour the birds, so I looked to today's challenge, and found Wool and felt blue bird ornament. So I followed the colours here.
All the stamps are from this Crafty Secrets set: Sing for Joy.
This is a card for my mom, for Mother's Day, 'cause she likes birds.
I put stickles on all the flower centers. ALSO, notice that there are three birds in the oval - that's for my mom's three offspring - me, my sister, and my brother. Well, actually, that was just a nice coincidence, that three fit so well in there.

What a sweet Mother's Day card. I think you colored those birdies just right. Is that you in the middle singing the loudest of the three siblings?
I love birds, too, and I'm thinking your Mom will love this. It very, very pretty!
