Jewel Tone Sunshine

Hello friends!  I've been busy working outside in the gardens, enjoying all things spring, but I thought I'd pop in here and share a card I made using the beautiful colors from Beautiful Blossoms Challenge.
 
 The jewel tones are brilliant!  Don't you think?
 
I had this beautiful piece of water colored background paper in my stash.
I had printed it on my home printer and it fit the color palette perfectly.
 
 The nest is from The Greetery and the bird is from Spellbinders.  The scale of the bird worked well with the nest, so there you go!  The flowers are die cut and then I stenciled the centers in through the holes before removing the die.  These super old flowers are from PTI.
 
 
The colors are quite brilliant, but I like it!
 
Sometimes I just need to make something really bold and beautiful.  Add in a feathered friend and it's a match made in heaven.
 
I'll also be entering this card into the following challenges:
Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes
Simon Says Wednesday Challenge ~ Things With Wings 

Here is the printable I used.  It was a freebie I found on the internet.  You can click on the image to open it, right click and save it to your computer so you can use it too!
and here's a bonus image! 
 Happy spring and happy gardening!
 
Thanks for stopping by!

This reminds me of the current situation on our patio... we have robin nesting in a bush right by my swing! This is so bright and happy Birgit, just like our mama bird!

Oooh, I love how you've combined the dies with the paper so they appear to be totally made for each other. What a sweet little bird, and those oldie flowers are till working beautifully for you!
