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 sweet and thoughtful comments warm my heart!
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!!
ReplyDeleteYour 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
ReplyDeleteThat cherry blossom background is soft enough to let the bluebird shine but adds so much interest to your card, Bonnie.
ReplyDeleteYour sweet birdie and branch are beautiful Bonnie, but it's the sentiment and gorgeous cherry blossom background that are making my heart sing this morning! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
