Cute Birds All Occasion Card Set

Hi Dreamers!
How was your weekend?   Good, I hope.  I did more yard work, ran errands and made cards.......
Today I have a card set I made for my friend.  She wanted cutesy cards to send to her granddaughters.   I used some really cute digis from Fred, She Said Designs' Burds Collections.

I printed the images onto white CS and colored with Copic Markers.  I added lots of die cut pieces and some pretty papers from Cosmo Cricket.

I stamped some fun Bird theme sentiments too.

Well, that was just a quick post for a Sunday afternoon.  I have to go and make a salad to pack for my husband's lunch tomorrow.   Have to go pick the lettuce from the garden first...LOL   Wish I had some ripe tomatoes.  No ripe ones yet. Have a great evening.
PS: I did get all the cards done for the order my neighbor placed on Thursday.  I will take a pic or two of those.  See you next time.  Love ya.
