WT253 Harbinger of Spring

Photo Details

Poster: hobbydujour

Julia's challenge today in WT was to use "bird" elements.

I have this OLD MS bird stamp that had a bird and forsythia. It came mounted on a clunky piece of fiber board. I saw the bird as a robin for this card. Both robins and forsythia are the first signs of real spring to me in this area of the country. Even though we are in the midst of winter, I'm looking foward to spring...my favorite season.
