Little Blue Bird

Hello crafty friends ~ I have a pretty blue bird card to share with you today.  I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest that was similar in design as this, so I cased the layout using my own dies. 
 
Oldies but goodies include, Wonky Stitched Scalloped Rectangles from MFT, Winter Robin from Dee's Distinctively Dies, Olive Branches from Cheery Lynn Designs and Potpourri Flowers from Poppystamps.
 
I cut the olive leaves and the smaller flowers out of white cardstock and rubbed on a bit of Distress inks to add color.  The larger flowers are cut from blue scraps found in my scrapbox.  All topped with fairy gems from Honeybee Stamps.
 
 I like that this whole card was made using scraps, except for the card base.  
I'll be adding this card to the following challenges:
Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes
Cut It Up ~ Use  more than one die cut
 

Thanks for stopping by!
