Chatting With The Birds

One of my favorite things to do in the spring is to sit on the porch and watch/listen to the birds. How joyful they are, even when it is raining. When I first saw this adorable image by Wink Wink Ink...I was excited to color the bird blue. I just love blue birds, well, actually, I love anything that is blue. I think if my husband had brown eyes, I may not have dated him way back when, lol

The image is called "Little Bird". Now, you have to admit this is one adorable image. It comes with some sentiments, 2 of which I used on this card.

I had to cut out the image after trying to use Stampin' Up chalk to color the sky. It was soft blue chalk, but it came out grey! Grrr....I have a love hate relationship with SU, lol, I either love a product or hate it. The chalks are quickly becoming one of the later.

Isn't this paper fun. I bought it so long ago hoping to break out of my comfort zone since I tend toward pastels. It took me until the past 2 weeks to break it out! So joyful and bright to match the cute image and the inside sentiment.

Now all I have to do is find a little girl to give this congratulations card to.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
Res-Q: a touch of pink (the paper is actually a purple and the only pink is on the bird)
ABC Challenge: "P" is for pearls
Fariy Tale- something for or with a child
Crafty Creations: Baby Blue (for a baby card or use baby blue)
Digi Doodle: Use pearls
