Sometimes you just need a card to send with a little note and that's how this card came about. I used 2 Sheena stamps for this card, the first was the Robin sitting on the blossom buds and the second was open blossom on another stamp. However I have only used the corner of that stamp. I then coloured with pencils and went around the outside. We were lucky to have a Robin nest in our garden this year, and it was lovely to watch the chick fledge. It done this over a couple of evenings, the first it was on our path for a long time before flying back to the nest, then the next evening while watch TV with the patio doors open it flew into our lounge and landed on a picture frame. After doing a lap of the living room it found its way back out of the door into the garden. I think that's why I chose to use this stamp, because it reminded me of the baby Robin. I'm taking this card to join in with a few challenges, first is Allsorts who would like anything Feminine, Stamping Sensations who would like anything For a Lady. Next Chocolate Baroque who would like Beautiful Blooms and finally River of Creativity who want No Hearts or Mushy Stuff. I'm also going to pop over to Try It On Tuesday who want Feathered Friends.

This is so pretty, the fluffy birdie standing on the blossom branch, thanks for joining us at the River of Creativity challenge xxx
Running rather late Sue, but had to pop in and see your pretty card and that lovely Robin. We have a couple of them living in the garden and both with nests this year, interesting to watch as they are so territorial and get quite upset with each other at times.
Thanks so much for joining our current themes at We Love Chocolate Baroque, Allsorts, Stamping Sensations and River of Creativity challenges.

Hi Sue
A great finished card. Love how you have combined the two stamps.
Lovely pencil work too.
I enjoyed reading your robin story.

Hi Sue. I am sorry I haven't visited for a while. I have been catching up though and you have made some super cards.
I hope you had a good birthday.
We have had a little robin in the garden for a while. He does look very scruffy though and I wondered if he is a youngster without his proper feathers yet. They are lovely to watch. I am sure they look at me through the kitchen window.
Hugs
