Birdsong

It is mid summer here and all the fruit trees are just coming ripe.  Now, I love birds and I don't mind sharing the fruit trees with them, but have you noticed they all seem to choose a different fruit and take one peck from each?



This is from a Verve sketch (and you all know I love sketches), which I didn't like and still don't; it seems arkward somehow.  However, that just makes it more of a challenge.

I used a square card to make it look better.  The stamps are all from a NEW Clear Impressions stamp set, coloured with Reno markers.  The blossoms and eggs are highlighted with Wink of Stella clear.  The foliage diecuts are Couture Creations, inked.

Really lovely card. I love the way you used the sketch. On each circle is something to related with birds. Beautiful!
Enjoy your fruit trees. I can only dream about it right now. Only thing that looks a bit like apple tree are little Robins sitting on the snow covered Maple :)
Thank you for sharing your wonderful card with us at Stamping Sensation.

LOL Yes! the birds do that for sure! When I was growing tomatoes they wouldn't just poke at the one.. they would take a chunk out of all of them!!Crazy! You did a great job with this sketch... even it seemed awkward. You would never know! It really turned out beautiful!! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Open-Minded Crafting Fun Challenges!!! Good Luck! I hope we see you again!!
