Last time I was at my sister-in-law's, she still had my Christmas card hanging on her fridge--she said it was because she loved the birch trees so much. So I decided she needed a card more fitting for the season, and it was the perfect excuse to break out this new stamp set. Not really a special occasion--just a chance to update her fridge decor. :-)
With Earth Day this week, this card fit a bunch of the challenges--one for a tree, one for a nature scene, and one for spring elements (for me that's always a robin!). Thanks for looking!

Pretty card and those birch trees are quite awesome...I'm sure your SIL will appreicate a spring version of your trees. I'm also a fan of robins....actually I'm loving all the chirping sounds I'm hearing now that spring is here. Lovely...

This is such a beautiful scene with your birch trees and I always love a bird and birdhouse. Your SIL is sure to be pleased with this card. The leaves look super.

Wow, those are gorgeous birch trees! I see why you were tempted to use your new set - bet your sis-in-law will love it! Great looking sky background and love how you used the stamp from sheltering tree to make the grassy meadow. Popping this into my favs as an inspiration piece. TFS!

This is such an upbeat spring scene...it feels like you captured a walk in the park in a card. I love how you colored the leaves. That birch tree sure is an awesome stamp.
