Back with another Pion card today. This I went super soft and subtle, one of my favourite styles! I have used two collections, "The Songbird's Secret" and "Where the Roses Grow". A delightful combination with the soft greys and blues, don't ya think!

I haven't been outside as much I would like, apparently trekking through the mud is not really my thing. lol. Again I share some landscape photos from up north and my wildlife shots were mostly taken in December when we had some snow.
I have decided to play along over at Our Beautiful World this week. Their theme is "Outside", seems like it's right my alley! lol
For my birds today, I have this sweet little Black Capped Chickadee perched on my hand...
a beautiful female Sparrow catching some morning rays...
and this handsome male Cardinal having a sit down in the snow...
"OK human, I gave you my very best cute face. Time for you to drop the peanuts!"

For my macro today, a beautiful frozen leaf in the morning sun...
That's it for today. Thank you for stopping in and for all the amazing comments. If you have any questions or interesting tidbits about today's wildlife, please let me know.
Your card is really lovely, one of my faves. Great photos too. It#s so cold in here I can hardly type, someone left the window open last night! Have a fun day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThat is a great paper and colour combo Pamellia, so pretty with the little butterflies too. Great photos and a perfect bokeh effect with the last shot ;0)....brilliant! Happy Wednesday...it's still very frosty here. Hugs xxx
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning card, love the softness in those papers and the result is gorgeous. Your photos are, well, amazing, love them as they are so clear and the colour show up so nicely. Think you photograph perfectly. I do love the last picture with the water drop, so effective.xx{aNNie}
ReplyDeleteI adore your cards, this one to! All the details and the colours are stunning :)
ReplyDeleteHugs from Maya
Not only a Songbird, but beautiful butterflies too, it's a truly gorgeous card Pamellia, wonderfulsoft colours.
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos, Kate x
You and Pion are the perfect team Pamellia. This card is stunning.
ReplyDeleteAmazing photographs as always and the macro is unbelievable with the reflected circles adding interest.

Gorgeous gorgeous card and equally gorgeous photos! Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Pamellia! I am always in awe of the wonderful dimension you create on each of them. Love these fabulous photos--especially the black squirrel with the touch of sunshine on him. Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteThe colours ARE delightful Pamellia, as is your beautiful card. The papers combine seamlessly in your wonderful designs.
ReplyDeleteI hate sloshing about in mud too! It makes walking very unpleasant...and then there's cleaning it off the dog when we get in...at least she has long legs and short fur...but still not a fun job!

A delightful combination of beautiful papers and a delightful and beautiful card too - it is so delicate looking and yet has so much wonderful dimension. I love the little butterfly at the top and those drops that look like dew drops - gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful icy, sparkly snow images today and I just love those beautiful squirrel shots today, they look lovely with their fur puffed up like that. We are getting through tons of birdseed here but no sign of any squirrels yet..... Hugs, Anne xx
Oh wow, this is so dreamy and gorgeous, Pamellia!! I love the papers you combined to create this beauty!! The layers are amazing and I just love, love the sweet bird!! It's so soft and romantic and stunning!! Every detail is perfection, as always!! You truly do showcase the papers perfectly!!
ReplyDeleteI love the first shot of the icicles, even if it did make me shiver with a cold chill ;) I am in awe that the birds land in your hand!! Even more so that you can get such a beautiful shot!! The squirrel babies are adorable!! I love the one begging for it to stop snowing ;) The macro is spectacular!! I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday my sweet friend!! Big hugs :)

Another delight, Pamellia!! So delicate and sweet card!! These papers are really fabulous, but your magic touch and the shabby style really show them so well!!

Beautiful blues and grays and I love the various types of butterflys on the "wood". Really lovely card Pamellia.
ReplyDeleteAnd the photos are SPLENDID as always. I've never known anyone who loves cold as much as you do!!! Amazing winter scenes. Your little family is just so precious - loved meeting todays posers! Xj.
Pamellia I LOVE this one!! It is EXTRA beautiful! The bird is So pretty and with the layers it gives a cool dimension that makes it look so real perched there! Of course your critter shots are always awesome. I always wonder do you spend lits of time feeding the birds so they come to sit on your hand or are you just the bird whisperer :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, I love this Pamellia. It looks so delicate. Hugs, Veerle
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely card Pamellia - the soft colours are beautiful, and I so admire the way you layer things up so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteYou don't like mud??? I wonder why ;-).
Lovely photos of the wildlife - especially those ever so rotund squirrels.
Blessings

Your card like always is so soft and dreamy, - another real beauty! Your photos always take my breath away, and today is no exception! The character in those little squirrels that you manage to capture is too cute for words!
ReplyDeleteA soft and dreamy card Pamellia and I just love that adorable picture of the squirrel with it's eyes shut - so cute!

Anoher fabulous card Pamellia, beautiful soft colours and gorgeous glimpses of lace, pearls, clear 'water' droplets and a few strands of fibre. So very delicate.
ReplyDeleteWonderful wildlife shots as always. I love how you have caught all of that sharkle in the snow and those frozen moments in time. Your squirrels and birds seem to be coping well with the snow but I bet they are all pleased it has gone away.
Have a great day.

Your card is lovely, and you work magic with those gorgeous papers! So many pretty details to love, but the droplets and the pins are my favorite!
ReplyDeleteFABULOUS photos! Love the landscapes; the glistening snow is so pretty! And the squirrel begging for a change in the weather is my favorite, besides the birds, of course! Amazing work, my friend! Sending my biggest hug your way!
