Bird Blessings

I had a few false starts last week with my DT project for Time Out Challenge #259 Birds of a Feather so I had one or two little birds left over!  

This little bird (Poppy Stamps Nordic Bird) was one of them!  I had made it up in Spring Colours so decided to make an Easter card for one of my sons.  

The background panel was an experiment with a background die (Poppy Stamps Double Diamond Lattice) and a rubber mat.  I quite liked the effect so cut it down with my guillotine to fit a card front.

I added a branch (Spellbinders Cherry Blossoms) and some leaves (Greetery Hey Cupcake).   I then built a nest using Gummiapan Witch Hazel branches cut into thirds and piled on top of each other and speckled some eggs (Poppy Stamps Whittle Chickens) with a fine point marker.

I had made the bird from snippets of a pale blue card stock and couldn't find any more of it - not even enough for this Easter sentiment (The Greetery)!  But this slightly deeper blue tones in well enough IMO and I also used it for the card base.   I bought the Easter sentiment last year and had almost forgotten I had it!  I spelt out "BLESSINGS" with this Tiny Gummiapan alphabet set.
