This card is inspired byTaylor's Spring Songbird, in celebration of our newest QFTD! Taylor, I spent over an hour in your gallery, just taking it all in. What beauty! Thank you for the art you share. Enjoy your week!
This is the first time I have used this image, and I love it! It was a gift from Irishgreensue, and I am reeling at all the possibilities of this set! Thanks so much Greenie!!! I kept Taylor's layout, changing the colors and images and adding a bit of the Kokirose wandering stitch, and capped the corners with pearls. There was not much work to this one- the Mind's Eye DP did it all. I used Seed Packet for the background, and framed with Spellbinders. This is a birthday card for a friend dear to my heart, who loves to garden. The inside sentiment is from ODBD's The Good Seed Set, and reads "Seeds of Friendship bring flowers of joy". The sentiment on the tag uses ODBD's Mini Tags 2.

My ma-ma just gave me this set too and like you I think one can do lots with it. Such a great case of Taylors...cute card you chose to case and sketch. Neat earthy warm tones here and still lovin that die cut, which is also so versatile. TFS...BIG hugs
