I was totally inspired today after watching Bluetits nesting outside my bedroom window! What little time wasters they are ... Thank you Jen and Brenda for today's challenge - to use the colours from the Bluebird Colour Palette.
I used scraps to punch the birds and lightly distressed all the elements except for the baby bird. I cut the nest using Nate's ABC's cartridge - from the page 'N is for Nest' !!!!

This is adorable! I like that your distressed the edges of the inner square - adds so much interest. The baby bird is so sweet and I love the way you built the nest.

I am chuckling about your 'time wasters', sistah....it struck me silly as we all fuss and fizz on out lil' paper creations! Your baby Bluetit takes after Dad, I'd say? And why is it in the birding universe the males get all the gorgeous colour?
Your card is so fun.
