What a fabulous site this week. I had such a hard time deciding. That took longer than making the actual card. Birds seem to be on my brain this week. Between hitting the windows, eating everything in site and making messes on my deck my days have been consumed by birds! LOL Now I await the return of the Blue Birds to the nesting boxes on the fence. The birdhouse stamp I used for this card has them all attached together but I cut them apart and added a post to the bottom and coloured with prisma pencils. The background paper is from the dollar store and so is the flower punch. I attached some twigs with raffia and added some bling to the flowers.

Oh this is just so cute! I love birdhouses and have a collection of them all over our property. My son once asked me if I was expecting a LOT of birds. (He didn't get the collection part.) I love what you did with the raffia and twig at the bottom of the card. Love this card!!!

This is marvelous! I love how you arranged and added to your birdhouses - and the coloring is fantastic. All of your punched and natural elements are delightful...why can't I find great stuff like you did in the dollar store? Beautifully done inspiration card.

I have tha same pair of barn shallows back this year and they made their nest on top of the garage door motor. It's very messy~but my husband is an old softie and it doesn't distrub them. I love your birdhouse card~very creative~love the real twig~TFS
