A Flower for All Seasons is one of my favorite sets. This card was one that I made for a class last O
ctober – the All Occasions Emergency Card Kit class – and this was the “Spring” card. The basket of tulips reminds me of Spring and Easter and that happened to be on my mind today too. I was out buying plates and napkins for Easter lunch – we have lots of family and friends coming over.
This is really an easy card – the hardest part is coloring in the picture. I used Stampin’ Write Markers for this one, but you could use a variety of mediums to color in this image. The Designer Paper is now retired but the Tea Party Designer paper would be pretty – just adjust the colors to match – or even the Flock Together Designer paper.
Before I give you the details on the card here is an update on the birds – I checked the Bluebird house this morning – and ONE blue egg is in there! They lay one egg a day – so I’ll check tomorrow for #2. I checked the chick-a-dee house and realized I could lift the top of the house and not just the side (and stand on my tip-toe to peek in). Surprise Mama bird was sitting in there – oops, sorry, I shut the house. Now I always knock before I open the house – yes, really I do – that way the birds can fly out before I open it. Well she didn’t so either she has already laid all those eggs or was in the middle of laying and egg. I checked back a few hours later and she wasn’t in the house and I couldn’t see any eggs – but maybe she buried them in the nest since it was all flat. I’ll have to check again tomorrow to see what it in there. I found a website with live video inside a bluebird nest box – I’ll add a link for that later – they seem to be a few days ahead of mine – they already have 4 eggs in the nest.
