Sending Sunshine

Hi everyone.  I'm sharing a card I made for my sister.  I'm sending her some "sunshine in a card" and hope that it brightens her day.

I made another card with this set here, (Pop Sunflower - Stampendous). I used the same designer paper background ... to me, it's just perfect for this image. :)  Now that I'm linking to the older card, I see that I used very similar colours too.  Oh well. :)  I know that my sister will enjoy the card, especially that little bird. :)

Close-up ...
I used snippets of mixed media paper (always keep any leftovers) to stamp my bird, vase, and sunflowers separately.  And another snippet of patterned paper for the background.  Sending this over to the Snippets Playground Challenge #422.

Thanks for stopping by for a visit.

  15. I know this card will cheer your sister, Loll. It's the sweetest thing and colored so beautifully. I love that you used the little bird on this card. I have loved this set and many other (ahem) Stampendous flower sets well. The paper with the little hearts showing makes an adorable background. Take care. Sending hugs.
