A Tent Bird House Card for Mother's Day

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY 

to all the mom's 
that have shown us the path of life 
and their unconditional love
 _________ 0 _________

Hello My Dear Stamper Friends:

I decided to make this cute "Tent Bird House Card" showing a bird-mom on her nest, waiting and taking care of her home and babies...

Do you know that Mother's day is celebrated almost all over the world, but the date varies from country to country?

Here in the USA is the 2nd Sunday of every May.
In México, is always on the 10th, no matter what day on the week it falls...
In France is the 4th Sunday in May

In England is on the 4th Sunday in March...

and Argentina is in the only country that celebrates Mother's day in October!

Historically this holiday was associated with a more religious sense, revering the virgin Mary...being May the month of the virgin. 

Nowadays the holiday has evolved, and has being adopted by many countries with different cultures and religions (including Asian and Arab countries have adopted this holiday). It has different meanings and is associated with different events depending on the country.
   
and In your county on what day you do celebrate this holiday?

Back to the card...

For the construction of these type of cards...
- you need to fold (any size of card) on the top,
- make a mark (from the creased line) 2" down on each of the 4 sides
- from the center of that line, crease a diagonal line up top the 2" mark with your bone folder.
To create an X (diagonal lines)...

Cut the center window with a die...I used the egg die form the "Open Studio" line "Delicate Nest" from Memory Box

Decorate As desired...
I used several dies from Memory Box
Notice that the top of the house was decorated with a partial area of the "Tanglewood" frame
and the oval die was cut with scissors to match the size of the aperture of the egg

    What a darling card. I love how you embellished it. It was interesting to learn about Mother's Day as well. Your're so full of knowledge. I sent a link to my daughter to show her your painted bunny and she loved it and remembers herself as a little girl watching me paint.

    I did know that different countries celebrate at different times from when we were living in England but I didn't know why the month of May, very interesting. Your card is just lovely, like the window you created, always neat to see different folded cards!
