Celebrate This Day

Hello I'm back with a greetings card to share with you today. As I mentioned in my last post the weather here in the UK is glorious and spring has arrived early. While I was out walking the dogs today you cant help but notice all the Daffodils and some trees are in blossom too.

So I made a card to celebrate this day....it could be a Birthday card, Anniversary card, Retirement card...pretty much anything really, a good card to have as a standby.

I loved this sweet image of Bluebirds in a Blossom Tree so I based my colour scheme around this.

I added some ribbon and lace to form a pretty background before I fixed the image in place. I then used some die cut twigs & branches. I also die cut & coloured the flowers from Foamiran and arranged them around the image.

I also added a little birds nest made from Sisal & Dried Roots. I made the eggs from air dry clay....I tend to make these all year round and store them in a jar...they are a great way to use up the little scraps at the end of a project. I also added a bird made from air dried clay and a few lace & metal embellishments, I especially love the pretty Bee charm...I saw a few of those buzzing around today.

As always I have decorated the inside of the card to co-ordinate using some scrap papers.

I am entering my card into the following Challenges:
