Heart Song

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I have a favorite oldie today.  In fact, two favorite oldies.


This Penny Black die hadn't been used in quite a while.

I die cut it from mixed media paper and colored with Distress Inks.

The background was inspired by looking out my window at a blooming
cherry tree.  And the sentiment is another favorite oldie.

Your darling Heart Song turned on my heart light this morning, Bonnie! SO so very pretty! Wish I was there to see your Cherry blossoms!

Once again, your background is pure genius and talent. So pretty!!
Your sentiment is "tweetable". Birds are always welcome here. I know I haven't been around for a good while. No one in their right mind makes two major moves in a little over one year especially when they are 80 years old!!!

Very pretty! Love the bird, the branch, and your lightened branches in the far back -- it ushers in Spring with ease

Bobby said...

That cherry blossom background is soft enough to let the bluebird shine but adds so much interest to your card, Bonnie.

Marcia Hill said...

Your pretty card made my heart sing, Bonnie! I love the soft pink in the background. I can't wait for our trees to bloom, they were so pretty last year!

Another spring delight, Bon! I love the blossoms, frame, sweet robin, and your perfect spring sediment! And lucky you to have a cherry tree blooming right in your own backyard! Thank you for using this week's I.D.E.A.S. Calendar and linking in the gallery to motivate others! Hugs, Dolly
