As a kid I loved searching for all kinds of birds in the garden, especially in the winter and to allure them with all kinds of food.
I made a shadow box card and used die cuts from Marianne Design and images from birds, cut by hand.
For further embellishment I added an iron bird cage with a green organza bow and a few flower rhinestones.

Wonderful memories! My daughter has a screened front porch and she has bird feeders so she can watch the birds!
Loved your scene you created! Gorgeous card!
Thanks for playing!

You did duch a terrific job illustrating your childhood memory with this lovely box card. I can sure relate. I am actually sitting in my yard right now enjoying the birds....we just do not have winter in southern Calif, so there are a always a lot of birds. I especially like the white die cut elements on this card.
This is so beautiful! Stunning design. I love the lacy edging and little birdcage, and of course, your birds are so sweet. Thanks for sharing this with us at Penny's!
