Bluebird of Happiness

We've had bluebirds in our yard recently and they inspired me to make this card.

I love this chubby little bird who started off as a cardinal but ended up as a bluebird.   The bird and leaves are cut in white cardstock and colored using Distress Oxide inks.

This card is pretty simple to make.  I used an embossing folder for the back panel and some coordinating paper for the strip panel.

I started by thinking this would be a birthday card, but it really could be for any occasion.  This little cardinal is so cute and just by changing his colors you can make him into many birds - think robin, canary, sparrow.....
