The Singing of Birds...



Since today is the first Monday in March we have this beautiful photo to inspire us.   I loved the beautiful green grass tress and water.   It's say "spring" is coming.    This verse is from Song of  Solomon 2.12  and it kept coming to my mind as I looked at this photo and  thought about the beautiful habitat for wildlife, especially birds in the trees and such beautiful grass providing for the sheep a wonderful place to graze... Not just this winter but the last few years have been tough on so many of us.   So I need and love this reminder from God's Word that Seasons change  and in His grace and mercy He sends times of refreshing to the whole earth and to His children.   I tried to add a lot of texture with embossing folders and I love the softness of this hem stitch embossing and die cut set from Spellbinders.   The bird and branch are from SU Friendly Hello (last spring I think Occasions)   I used water color pencils and SU blender pens for the outline images and the solid leaves I stamped a second time in Evening Evergreen and cut and glued to the popped up image!     Thanks for stopping in and please join the fun over at the Inspiration Station Challenge Blog this month.   Smiles,   Kathy  Design Team
