Hello, my friends! I have a very quick post for you because I don't want to miss the window over at Freshly Made Sketches #599!! I spent half of Sunday at one of my favorite gardens with one of my favorite members of the FMS design team - you'll have to visit me over at Instagram to see who!
It was fun to represent our day together using this wonderful Etched Greetings kit from SSS.
I stopped buying the kits years ago, but there were SOOO many birds included in the ephemera pack in this kit that I couldn't resist it!
There were a few Cedar Waxwings that couldn't resist a cool bath in our birdbath
on an 89-degree day:
Thanks for stopping by!

So pretty.

Thud---that was my jaw dropping, did you hear it over here in PA? GORGEOUS! You had me at birds...and vintage...and warm country colors...and THE BIRDS in your birdbath! You are so lucky!!! What great photos!
ReplyDeleteLucky you to have waxwings visit your bird bath. We just have sparrows, but they are such fun to watch. I love them. If someone walks into the garden a whole flock will suddenly rise up and fly off in a great flutter of wings. They are very entertaining. Love your card, great use of all those bits and pieces xx
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! You know I love anything to do with birds and this card brings out all the warmth and beauty of nature I find so comforting. It's beautiful with the sketch and papers. The Cedar Waxwings sure are appreciating your bird bath. They should be visiting us soon. I keep three bird baths and multiple feeders throughout the garden.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many pretty elements in this card. And I love the simple touch of the raggedy edged vellum for softness. Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ephemera that came together for a fantastic card, Michele! How special to have these Cedar Waxwings! I've never seen on IRL. So sweet in the bath!
ReplyDeleteOh, this is PRETTY! I like all of your layers and the marvelous warm colors. Great photos of the Cedar Waxwings too!
ReplyDeleteSooo beautiful Michele! And your day looked like fun too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a unique card, and a blessing to use some of the old supplies too! Your card is beautiful and so is your birdbath full of them
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! Such a lovely card. I like the softer earthy color palette. Those little birds look like they are having a blast! So happy for you to have been able to get together with a friend, too. Crafty hugs!
ReplyDeleteOh Michele, I'm smitten by this sweet card and the photo's of the Cedar Wax Wings visiting your bird bath. This kind of card speaks my language!!! Pure delight!
ReplyDeleteEvery detail of this creation is so special. I love the vintage feel, the "torn" vellum, colors... and the pics are wonderful. Such great inspiration and results. Just lovely.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fabulous card, I just adore all of those pretty images and love the muted colour palette.

ReplyDeleteYour arrangement of the ephemerals are beautiful, Michele! The deckle edged vellum layers show your great taste of the card design. The Cedar Waxwings enjoying your birdbath are so cute!! I want to play with them in the bath. ;-)

Such a great card using wonderful ephemera from a kit! Love that bird and the real life ones, too!
ReplyDeleteHow fun that you got to your favorite gardens with your friend Michele! I love your sweet card, what beautiful ephemera! It sure made for one beautiful card!! Love your take on the sketch as well. But what I really love is the photos of the sweet birds in the birdbath! Yep, they were enjoying their "pool" on that hot day too! LOL So sweet, so cute! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteOnce I saw those darling waxwings in your birdbath I almost forgot about the card, Michele. You have so many wonderful elements that brought it all together in an artistic and creative way.
