Double D Birds - Nests - Birdhouses/Bird Cages

 Birds building nests are always a wonderful sign of spring.  We are actually having a spring here in Northern California this year. Sometimes we have a two season climate.... winter to summer and back  to winter.  What spring we have begins in February when our daffodils bloom and blossoms are seen on the almonds, peaches and plums.  Diane has created this wonderful Mood Board for this challenge.  I took my inspiration from the bottom left with the blossoms. 

                                               

I decided to use this Memory Box humming bird for my card.  I have had it for quite a while but have not used it before.  I paired it with a very old cover plate die from MFT and backed with vellum and the Large Frame Die from IO.  The Just a Note die is from Memory box and so is the flower branch. 



We hope you will pull out your bird themed stamps and dies and play along with us at Double D Challenge Blog
