Happy sunny Sunday.  It is a beautiful day for a walk or just sitting on a bench in the park with the pollen swirling around you.

My card today features the Birds & More Dies.  Pictures are the dies I used.  

Inspiration for the design is from the Fab Friday  209  Challenge.

Start your creation by using the Blending Brushes, don’t you just love using these, to color a panel of Basic White card stock using  Flirty Flamingo, Calypso Coral, Smoky Slate, Seaside Slate, and Gorgeous Grape Classic Stamp Pads.  The ink goes on so smooth using these brushes.  After coloring, cut to the size needed for the focal background panel.  Mat the panel in Basic Black card stock then adhere to the Basic White card stock base.

My little Pool Party cardstock bird found an old piece of fence that had fallen down or so he thought, it only turned out to be a square of  In Good Taste DSP instead.  He decided to perch on the two little branches that were cropped using a die from the Birds & More Dies.    

He thought the Shaded Spruce card stock branch also cropped from the Birds & More Dies may give him shade from the hot Georgia sun so he left a Thank you note in Flirty Flamingo ink on a little scrap of Basic White card stock.

The sentiment panel is left blank so a more detailed thank you can be written.  A few clouds have been added in Seaside Spray ink so the panel will be a bit more interesting looking when the receiver gets the card.

The medium Basic White envelope gets clouds stenciled on the envelope flap using one of the stencils from the March Paper Pumpkin.

If you would like to create this card all the products used and the card cuts are at the end of this post.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day.  My hope and wish are that you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself.  Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me.  Have a blessed day!
