Hello. and welcome to another great theme challenge at The Paper Players! Yes, spring is in the air here, and flowers are blooming everywhere! This week the daffodils popped out, the forsythia and cherry trees are in full bloom. Next to come will be the azaleas and dogwoods that are so plentiful in my state.
I'm inspired by the bluebirds that we see in our yard, they will soon be nesting!
My card features that very spring scene.
I'm using stamps from Honeybee called Love is in the Air. The images were colored with Copics and fussy cut. I often don't mind fussy cutting, this time I outlined each image with black marker to hide any white paper bits peeking out.
The bird house was intended to look old and worn, like the one we have. I'm pleased with how it turned out.
Will you chose the tulips, butterflies, or cherry blossoms? I can't wait to see what you will make. I'm so glad that you came by to visit today, hope it made you smile!
Be yourself
Have delight in your craft
Make something beautiful!

So bright and beautiful!
What a sweet little bird! This is a cute card, Cindy! I saw the first signs of spring on a walk today. Daffodils are showing a snippet of themselves! 70 today, 40 tomorrow... that's Ohio!
Gorgeous….I live the rich colors!
Cindy, what a bright, cheerful, springy card! Love the colors and the coloring! I'm also jealous of your weather-we got snow this morning!! Have a great week!
Oh, how sweet! I just love anything with birds and this is particularly pretty. I love the look of cut out images and I don't even mind the white edges (which you skillfully eliminated). Wonderful coloring, and the blue gingham is the ideal border. Spring is starting to show here, too, with so many flowers and trees in bloom. I love it!
So cheerful...love the colors!
Man, our cherry tree still looks like nothing more than a stick, but it's still getting below freezing at night here. Maybe soon we'll start to get cherry blossoms. In the meantime, your bird and birdhouse are so cute--love how you colored them, and that gingham background is perfection!
Cindy, bluebirds are my favorite bird and this one is so pretty! That is the prettiest birdhouse, too! Those gorgeous red blooms are fabulous! Your card made me smile!
What a darling card!
We have four bluebirds flitting around our yard right now and I can't wait to see them start nesting! This little guy reminds me of him as well! Your fussy-cutting skills are impressive!
This is such a sweet spring scene Cindy - I love the bright colours too! The daffodils finally bloomed in my garden this weekend I cant wait for the blue tits to nest in our boxes too!
Just beautiful Cindy! As always, your coloring is fantastic and really brings the images to life. Wow!
Cindy, I love those rich colors and you colored these items beautifully. Thank you for reminding me that the blue birds will soon be returning! Fabulous card
hugs
