Bird Baby Card

I have several baby birds in my yard right now.  I have seen the baby Downy Woodpecker, a young House Finch, and I am fairly sure the two Carolina Chickadees are going in and of the birdhouse so often because there is a nest full of babies to feed!  We are anxiously awaiting the day they will fledge.


Anyhow!  I do not have a bird quite like this one!  None of the birds seem to be taking care of a cute little mouse, but wouldn’t it be sweet if they did?  DH suggested I color the bird to look similar to an Oriole, so I made up a species here.  I will be using this card as a baby card.


Supplies: I Brake for Stamps Bird with Mouse stamp, Hero Arts CL342 Sentiment set, Memento and Versafine Black inks, My Mind’s Eye Stella & Rose 6x6 Patterned paper pad, Spectrum Noir alcohol markers.

I would love to participate in the Daily Marker’s 30 Day coloring challenge and SimonSaysStamp’s Anything Goes challenge.  Thank you for inspiring us to create!

Thanks so much for visiting today!  I hope you consider subscribing and leaving a comment. 

You can find me on facebook or pinterest, too.

Hi Heidi, a super cute card with a lovely stamp, love the soft colours you used with the papers behind. Your garden sounds like a bird haven, obviously plenty of food around for all the different species to feed their young. Have a wonderful week... Megan
