Are you a bird lover? I sure am! I enjoy watching the birds (and pesky squirrels) eating at our feeders every day. The DD Challenges duo, Darlene and Diane have a fantastic challenge for you this next two weeks, with the theme of "Birds".
I'm all in on this one! I pulled out Honeybee Stamps Lovely Layers Winter Birds to create a vintage style card. One that you might find in a book of Avian Field Notes.
I've tucked in some leaves and berries from Spellbinders Be Bold Blooms. This is all nestled on top of a wonderful numeric embossing folder from Carabelle Studios. I rubbed a bit of Walnut Stain DOX Ink over the numbers to give it a time worn look.
A couple of Tim Holtz Field Notes stamps are included to finish this entry.
I do hope you'll visit DD Challenge to see more avian inspired designs from our gifted team.
Here's the inspiration tile to help you get started:
And here's what you could win when you play along.
Thanks for stopping by!

WOW what a fabulous card my friend! Love that chickadee!
Oh Birgit...this card is soooooo pretty! Your birdie sitting amongst the leaves and berries is beautiful and I love that embossed background too! You nailed this challenge my friend...LOVE it!! Hugs. :0)
I could do a year of bird cards and not come to the end of them. They work in so many settings and you've made a beautiful one for this pretty Chickadee. The embossing, the stamps, the inking... absolutely lovely. I have to admire the 1958 ledger as a backdrop, too. All totally wonderful, Birgit!
I like all of the goodies you've nestled this little bird into! This is a lovely card, Birgit!
