Nature Walk Birthday - The Friday Mashup #62

I have a lot of robins in my back yard this year, and they really love the bird bath I put under the lilac tree. As I was taking a picture of this card (outside on my patio table) one robin was singing his little heart out. It wasn't a hard decision to put a robin in my card for the Friday Mashup, the challenge for which was to feature a bird using the sketch provided. Here is my card:

 

Stamps:  Nature Walk, Petite Pairs

Inks: Soft Suede, SU Markers 

Papers: Soft Suede, Country Comfort designer Series paper, Whisper White

Accessories: 1" circle punch, 3\8" Soft Suede taffeta ribbon, dimensionals

Spring has Sprung - The Paper Players #85 and challenge 162 LNS

I think we all the know the little poem (and I promise I won't finish it):

Spring has sprung

The grass has riz

I wonder where the birdie is...

The challenge with The Paper Players here is to make a spring card, and I couldn't help thinking about robins.  Some 'fat' ones have returned to these northern climes already and I enjoy their early morning vocals.  My card, for this challenge, features a robin.

This card is also for the LNS group where the challenge is "your favorite color combination" - in this case Soft Suede, Pink Pirouette, and Baja Breeze

Stamps: Nature Walk, Pursuit of Happiness

Inks: Black Stazon, Basic black, SU markers

Papers: Soft Suede, Whisper White, Beau Chateau designer paper

Accessories: Aqua painter, 1/2" Baja Breeze seam binding, Antique Brad, Dazzling details, dimensionals
