A couple of week ago Rob and I went to Vermont to see my sister.  The first morning I woke up I looked out the window and there were a ton of Cardinals in her tree.  I have never seen so many Cardinals in one place before and I counted at least 19 of them.  It was the most amazing thing and so beautiful.  Then I went downstairs and she had Blue Birds!  Rob and I have a couple of bird feeders out but all we get are little birds, Mourning Doves, big, giant, ugly Blue Jays and a lot of squirrels that we do our best to keep out of the feeders!

So, I asked my sister how she does it and she took me bird feeder and bird food shopping.  Blue Birds eat dried mealworms.  I do have to say they are disgusting to look at but I try not to think about that.  Cardinals like Black Oil Sunflower seeds.  Who knew different birds liked different food!  I came home armed to the teeth with all my new contraptions and bird food.  Two weeks have gone by.  Not a single Cardinal or Blue Bird to be seen!  Sigh.

I made this card using a new stamp set from the 2018 Occasions Catalog called Bird Banter.  I am not usually big on cute sets but I love this one.  It has a bunch of cute birds along with cute accessories to outfit the birds.  Even the saying are cute.  They are perfect to color using your Stampin’ Blends or Stampin’ Markers.  I know it is hard to see but I embossed the bottom of the card using the Celebration Duo.  Here is a close up of it:

Lastly, I added some of the Tutti-Fruitti Adhesive Backed Sequins.
