God wanted to brighten up the world... so he made you. (SU! Flourishing Phrases)
I am slowly going through the Falliday 17 challenges. This one is for using a bird in our card. This *forced* me to take out the Swirly Bird stamps and dies that I have been wanting to use, so I am super grateful.
This is also for a very old color challenge. I wanted to use up the 50 or so pre-cut card bases and layers that I prepared for a fund raising event. (You can see other cards in my gallery using this exact same sugarplum base and layers and ribbon)
I was trying to figure out which phrase to use and when I read this phrase in my current stamp inventory, I thought of my niece. She is always so positive, so this card fits her perfectly. Life is too short not to send a kind note when you are thinking of someone.
Thanks for looking.

Beautiful swirly 'wreath' for your sweet bird to sit in! I love the doily background. This will certainly bring a smile to the face of the recipient. Don't we all like to know we have been thought of? :-) Great card!

What a pretty card with that doily and the darling birdie and flowers! I like how the phrase made you immediately think of someone who fit that sentiment...I’m sure she will love getting a card from you.
