It wouldn't be Springtime without beautiful birds and blooming trees.  This wonderful set reminds us how special we are to God and will encourage your loved ones to feel the same way.

I just loved coloring this beautiful image.  Here is my Springtime Blessings card made with this set!

Creative Nugget:  The darling sparrow image was colored with Copic Markers, cut with a Circle Nestie, and pierced.  This panel was mounted on a Soft Suede Circle Nestie, and a Splendid Circle Die which had been cut in half...one half going on the top and one going on the bottom.  BasicGrey patterned paper was stitched to Soft Suede card stock and mounted to a Solar Crest card front. The sentiment was stamped on an oval nestie.  The rolled roses were made by punching a scalloped circle, cutting it in a spiral, and rolling the spiral from outside in. Little pearls were glued to the inside of the roses.  Other embellishments include ribbon, a pearl brad, and die cut leaves.
