This little birdie set got me especially excited to color and well – I wanted to feed them, because filling the feeder made me feel like perhaps spring IS on the way!?!? A late snow this year is causing me to neeeed some spring cheer!

I colored the birds in Zig clean color pens….(for the previous post about birds – click HERE.)
And the shaker is a homemade kind – just cut a rectangle, trimming carefully around the bird beaks with a fingertip knife. Alternately you could add the birds on and diecut them.
The sweet little flowers and butterflies in this sequin set are perfect for a feeder! And the feeder is simple to draw. A flat top and bottom, and a round lid and string. Easy peasy!

I love the card and how to make a bird feeder! It looked like you were using a sharpie, but are they water resistant? Did you use something else?
Yes, sharpies are totally water resistant. Yay!
We are having a terrible, long winter in Quebec but the cardinals coming to the feeder to enjoy safflower seeds are a welcome sight. I can’t wait to try to make this stunning, happy card.

I am an avid birdwatcher and a card maker and I can’t wait to make this fabulous card.
Below 0 and lots of snow still where I live. This video and card is a lovely reminder that spring is on its way.
That is just about the cutest card I’ve seen in a long time. Love it!
Oh wow Sandy, this is fantastic!
I love this Sandy, I just want to go rummage through my stamp sets now to find some birdies. Ty
Great Sandy, I love the bird feeter idea! Your birds are gorgeous but with the feeter you made this card so stunning.
Thank you for showing and have a great weekend.
A bird feeder shaker – brilliant!
I love this card. It is so cute. I will have to give it a try. Thanks for sharing your talent.
