Hello!! We have had rain, rain, rain, rain here in Sacramento! Everything is fresh and green and soooo beautiful! It was sunny today, but the clouds are rolling back in for the rest of the week. I love rain, actually. And I especially love a Spring rain. It's so refreshing. Our neighborhood has lots of mature trees and people take pride in their yards. It is a pleasure to drive home and see everyone's hard work and God's hand with all the flowers. We have bunches of tulips now. The daffodils are already starting to fade. So this morning I had that moment...THAT moment. It happens every holiday. When you realize JUST. HOW. CLOSE....that holiday is. Yes, Easter is less than three weeks away! Yikes. I haven't made very many Easter projects yet. This morning in the studio I was having a hard time finding some mojo so I started organizing.... That usually clears my head! After I got things all tidy I decided to use some of my new PTI goodies from last month. The new Spring Woods stamp set is soooooo pretty. It's not really like me...but today I only used ONE stamp set! LOL.
I could not decide what color and what type of bird to make! There must be 20 birdies in my trash can! Nothing looked right! I finally decided to just got with the yellow and black traditional Goldfinch and he came out nice and crisp. I stamped the blossoms in a really pale pink.
The blossoms and the bird are mounted to my card with foam tape. The edge of my top white layer was cut with my new Edgers Dies from Reverse Confetti. I put a little piece of Lawn Fawn striped paper underneath to match the yellow in the bird.
I adore this retro looking sentiment! Stamped in crisp black ink.
Here's a quick pic of some of our daffodils. I really like these tiny ones! I have no idea what they're called but they are so cheery and bright!
That's it for me today! Thank you for the awesome response to my felt projects! How much fun was that? LOADS!! So much so that I made more! I'll be posting them on Saturday over on the Simon Says Stamp Blog! So if you haven't had your fill yet!! LOL. I hope you're having a lovely week!! XOXOXO
wow :)

Beautiful card Wanda! I wish I could say things were warm or green here in Michigan. I do have the cute birds coming to my feeder and the Goldfinches are just as beautiful as your card.
Thanks for sharing,
Michelle

Perfect colour choices for this wonderful card, Wanda - I can picture this Spring "scene" just the way you composed your card.
